Pros

Atkins pays fairly and has an extensive backlog of work. There will almost certainly never be a day where you don’t know what you will work on. There is diversity in the work and in the work force itself. There seem to be great opportunities for growth/development. Overtime is compensated. Can be fully remote if needed.

Cons

Can be hard to find a good supervisor. Some are extremely demanding and expect perfection, which is simply not realistic. If you don’t set boundaries, you will be expected to always work extra hours and at odd times.

Pros

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Cons

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
