Pros

Working at DG gave me ability to see new places and meet amazing people. I was able to earn experience at a fast paste.

Cons

Being away of family. This company is great for single people or those who hate their family. The company does not care about people personal life, neither respect it. Direct co-workers are great, but PM/Jr Partners not so good.

Thank you for your feedback! The commenter is correct: DG is a fast-paced environment. We are an international design-build firm and the nature of our work can mean time away from the office on project sites. Travel varies by discipline, but it is a part of the job for many of our employees. That said, we endeavor to balance travel and personal time as much as possible. DG implemented an open vacation policy for the express purpose of helping employees maintain a healthy work-life balance - with those that travel often first in mind. If you’re interested in a position at DG but have questions about travel requirements, please reach out to our People & Management team at careers@dennisgroup.com so we can help find the right position for you.

Pros

* Your coworkers are likely into their job. * Project Managers care a lot and your voice will be heard about the work going on. * You definitely have job security. * Insane amount of experience and quick it might be in the zone of your field that you wanted but you will get a ton of experience. (Might end up being site installation supervisor as a controls engineer)

Cons

* People do not believe in work life balance at DG the project matters more than you when you are in the thick of it. * They are definitely under staffed for the work they have going on and you will be required to work more because of it. * You will work a crazy amount of overtime with no overtime pay. I had to work over 70 hour weeks frequently for the same pay. * They will say the bonuses add up for the overtime... this is a lie especially as a beginner the bonus looks like another check if it is good. Not worth it when you basically worked double work weeks for most of the year.
