Pros

The best thing about working at WM is you get to be involved with all phases of the process: planning all the way to construction admin. This really helps you understand how a project comes together and get a lot of great experience. It's also a large firm, so there is always opportunity to take on more and move up. WM likes to promote from within and also has lots of mentoring opportunities to get you support for where you want to go. There are also very robust resource systems, so when I was a growing JC I got to really focus on my PM development and not be bogged down with drafting ALL the time. If you want to grow, there really isn't a better place to go. There is also a lot of job security, and I love that with the pandemic they have the option to work remote OR in office based on personal preference/circumstance.

Cons

There are really only a few cons, one of which is that we do have a separate design team, so if doing the original design is a must for you, you would need to work within that group and you would mostly only work on design. You do still get to develop the design and work with the designers regardless though. The other is that the benefits/holidays aren't as aggressive as some other larger bay area companies, but it's still competitive with the general market.
