Pros

At first it was a great place to work. We had a great support team and great communication to the field. We seamed to have a group that cared, and tried to all help out.

Cons

Lack of advancement opportunities due to new hires being promoted above Sr. personnel based on connections within the company. Newer upper management that values internal politics and internal connections over seniority and experience. Absolute dishonesty of leadership when faced with being in the wrong, or when faced with any type of difficult situation. Management that is extremely hard to reach and in a very short time forgot what it was like to be in the field. Management that is extremely not understanding when it comes to the differences from the office to the field.

Pros

Great management, interesting projects, and a very positive work environment. The team culture is strong, people are professional and respectful, and overall it feels like a great place to work. I really enjoy the type of work, the projects, and the way people collaborate with each other.

Cons

The main downside is that it can be difficult for contractors to transition into full-time roles. There seems to be a strong reliance on contract and offshore resources, so long-term internal opportunities may be limited depending on the business needs and hiring strategy.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
