Fantastic place to work and advance
Engineer II (Current Employee) – Denver, CO – August 2, 2017
As the first company I joined after college, I can easily say that each day working for EA has allowed me to advance and grow as a professional faster than I anticipated. From day one I was offered opportunities to work on a variety of large and small scale projects ranging from nuclear power plant planning and permitting to culvert design. Along the way I have been exposed to the multiple facets of consulting including advancing my technical expertise, as well as client and project management. Additionally, the company offers many opportunities to support internal corporate growth and advancement through participation on committees, attending conferences, and furthering marketing and business development outside of the standard channels. EA counters the intensity of its professional atmosphere by promoting a healthy, work-life balance offering benefits such as subsidized gym membership, hosting/organizing happy hours, and attempting to enstill a united, team culture. In doing so, however, some of their efforts fall flat and sometimes make the job harder. Specifically, although there exists a team atmosphere, resources are not always leveraged most appropriately nationwide that would incorporate employees from other offices into work being performed at another office. Even so, the environment and culture to provide the highest quality technical and managerial service to clients across multiple disciplines is, in my opinion, the most enjoyable part of the job.
Pros
Mentorship, challenge, variety of opportunities
Cons
Pay not commensurate with level of responsibility
