Pros

Managers are good people outside of the workplace. Company is gaining larger contracts. Net profits up year after year. Everyone is usually helpful. Work from home available (NEW - will be gone soon) IT is very helpful and quick to respond.

Cons

Highly understaffed. Won't increase financial compensation for current employees during time when it's really hard to hire. Lower base pay than smaller companies. High turnover for lower level positions. No bonus for performance or holiday, no bonuses. Overtime is expected. Only half of medical insurance is paid for if single, less if you add dependents. Cutting cost everywhere. Non managerial employees are treated liked children by some. Very bad communication between teams and offices often causing projects to go past the due date. ESOP is not an incentive to stay, most companies pay into ESOP. ESOP pays from top down and there is no guarantee this company will last long enough to pay you in 10 years. No 401k match = no incentive to save pre-tax The benefits aside from the ESOP are almost equivalent to any operating business, think "Walmart" "Domino's" "Engineering Inc."

Pros

Psomas hires top notch engineers, surveyors, landscape architects, CM professionals, and more. Impactful projects for our surrounding communities that we are all proud to be a part of.

Cons

Some growing pains, it would be great to have fewer systems and more efficiencies in internal systems.

Pros

Company wins some of the best work locally. Strong presence and well respected in market. Interesting projects and growing company with a few acquisitions in the last few years. Strong years are indicative of extra perks (holiday or extra PTO). Good work life balance for entry/middle staff.

Cons

Experience varies by team/project manager. Base salary could be better or get company bonus.
