review and is evolving.
Pros: Enjoyed the diverse project portfolio, which included some challenging and rewarding structural design tasks. The colleagues are knowledgeable and collaborative, making for a generally pleasant work environment. The hybrid work model is a big plus for work-life balance, allowing for better management of personal and professional commitments. Good exposure to different building types.
Cons: Communication from project managers regarding scope changes or client feedback can sometimes be delayed or unclear, leading to rework. Pay, while competitive, isn't outstanding for the area compared to some larger firms. Growth can feel a bit slow if you're not actively seeking out opportunities, as formal mentorship isn't always consistent.
Advice to Management: Focus on enhancing internal project communication protocols to ensure all team members are consistently updated on project status and changes. This would minimize confusion and improve overall project efficiency.
