Every person I have worked with since starting has been excellent
Cons
As the company grows, the corporate culture has some disconnect from the engineering culture, which can cause issues occasionally

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review — we're thrilled to hear that you've had excellent experiences with everyone you've worked with. We appreciate you highlighting the strength of the team and are glad your time here has been so positive.
Flexible hybrid schedule is very nice and starting salary is high for early career engineers.
Cons
The main people running the company are not engineers and you can tell. They are all focused on utilization with rates often set at 97% or higher. This had led to my supervisor asking/telling me to not charge company required trainings. As an early engineer it really feels like they don't want to invest in me and only care about their bottom line.
If you are an early career structural engineer you will also not get any meaningful work until you've been with the company for at least 5 years. The senior engineers do not trust you and will only give you grunt work.
