Mixed experiences for engineers with cultural concerns
Pros
If you're applying to a superintendent position or PM you'll do ok. They are well compensated and respected. They are family oriented and understand when you have to take time off.
Cons
If you are applying to be a Project Engineer or APM beware of the current expectations. 1. your opinion doesn't matter. If the Owners or Design Engineers/Architects are rude and disrespectful don't expect upper management to have your back. They will tell you to just deal with it so at to not muddy the waters. 2. The "VP of Engineering" has never been an engineer, doesn't understand how the field operates and sets unrealistic goals and expectations that are designed to make you fail. If you want to severely injur yourself just climb his ego and jump down to his I.Q. 3. The company culture has been shifting for the past couple of years. They speak of Integrity, Family; Community and Trust but don't follow what they preach. They continue to protect terrible people as long as they are making the company money. 4. Bonuses are almost non existent and they don't offer a 401k match.
