Pros

Hard to say. Very bad experience.

Cons

My experience with this company has been extremely disappointing from day one. Upon arrival, I was informed that the position I was originally hired for was no longer available. I was told I would need to either accept a different, more labor-intensive role or consider transitioning out—this after I had already declined other offers to accept this position. To make matters worse, I was assigned to management that showed no empathy or understanding of the situation. Instead of offering support, they placed me in one of the most physically demanding areas of the project without any consideration for my background or the original job I was promised. The work environment is highly micromanaged, especially for new employees. There’s a clear lack of trust and autonomy, and it quickly becomes stifling. Despite multiple complaints from staff about certain individuals contributing to high turnover, no action is ever taken. Concerns fall on deaf ears, and employee well-being is clearly not a priority. This has been, without question, the worst professional experience of my career. I would not recommend this company under any circumstances.

Pros

This company has a great culture. They have managed to achieve a family feel despite being spread across 60 office locations, which is no easy task!

Cons

None that I can think of
