Pros
The work done here is incredibly interesting - vans loaded up with lasers, computers, tech, and lights drive all over the US, and sometimes beyond, scanning the roads with laser beams. The information captured is eventually turned into useful data for clients of various size and scale, such as towns, counties, municipalities, and cities. We also work LiDAR as well as tech-outfitted ATV's. This requires the talents of many people of various disciplines, in and out of "The Field". It all works because there is a good culture at IMS. Many coworkers get on like family and not a few will go out of their way for each other. There are more than a few get-togethers throughout the year (pre-covid) and we still manage to have fun virtually. First place I ever drank a beer at work!
Cons
Not a con as much as a realistic warning - prepare for hard work. IMS does pretty amazing work which requires a lot of dedication and out-of-the-box thinking.
