Pros

Pay is good. They also contribute to your HSA and provide public transportation or parking subsidy. 5.5% match of 401K. The new leadership is trying to reshape the company.

Cons

Typical EPC company. Your job is depending on whether there is a project for you to work on. Some clients want to interview you before accept you to work on their projects. Previous executive leaders made some stupid decisions and the company has lost its glory a lot. The new CEO brought a lot of VP from his previous company but has not turned into more new backlog yet. Very old school and the department I work for provides no support at all. All they care is you fill in the time sheet right.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.

Pros

Good salary and 6% 401K match

Cons

The company is in constant organizational flux. They bought LinQuest a year ago and are already spinning the entirety of what was LinQuest off into another company. PTO accrual increase is in 10-year increments.
