Pros
Doing everything right when compared to other A/E firms. Forward thinking without forgetting the lessons learned. Living the lessons learned while still forging new paths.
Cons
Sometimes, when you're on the "bleeding" edge, you get a cut. The key is to heal without losing the lesson.

I like your analogy about the bleeding edge. We try to balance our entrepreneurial spirit and autonomous culture by staying on the leading edge and avoiding the bleeding edge. Less cuts generally, but sometimes we might reach out a little too far. I hear you loud and clear about not losing the lessons. Even as we have transitioned from our founder, Dave Coffman, we have purposefully maintained his influence in our company to capture as many of those lessons learned from the past. Nothings worse than relearning the same lesson. It has always been a goal of mine to not have history repeat itself (at least in my life - business and personal). Unfortunately it seems inevitable in broader society. Thank you for your insight.

Great Company and great office culture! Everyone in our office seems to genuinely enjoy the work they do and the people they work with. The GM really cares about the people here.
Awesome work culture. They are big on getting your work done rather than needing to stay in office longer than necessary. I also got a lot of hands on experience.
Cons
Hiring process is a little late in the year ~April for students trying to get internships.
