Pros

Relaxed culture where having a beer at lunch and wearing shorts are not frowned upon. Senior management is more visible and approachable as compared to senior management at similar sized companies. Company is doing great financially and growing rapidly. IT network and applications are far superior to other companies of this size and even larger. Meridian office is modern looking and comfortable. Benefits, 401k, and bonus programs are well run.

Cons

Project Managers get too much credit and compensation. Meanwhile the engineers, drafters, and even department managers are under-compensated. This results in high turnover in those areas. Company ownership is based on the good old boy network and who you know. Ownership has little to do with actual accomplishments or work performance.

Pros

Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.

Cons

Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
