Pros: They do offer hybrid work for Environmental Engineering roles, which is a big plus. You can usually WFH a couple of days a week. It helps a lot with personal appointments and avoiding rush hour in Houston, TX.
Cons: The problem is, if you have field work or site visits, flexibility goes out the window. You're expected to be onsite early. It's tough to plan around that sometimes, especially for regulatory compliance deadlines.
Advice to Management: Try to make remote work more consistent, even for those of us doing fieldwork. Maybe offer comp time after long site visits. It would really improve morale for your Environmental Engineering team.

Pros: As an entry-level Environmental Engineer in the Sacramento office, I got tons of hands-on experience with permitting and site assessments. They have some really interesting projects in water quality and remediation, which is great for building foundational skills. The hybrid work model helps balance things out.
Cons: Career growth here is definitely a challenge. It feels like there aren't many clear paths to a senior project manager role, especially for younger engineers. You can get stuck in similar tasks for too long without new responsibilities, even after several years.
Advice to Management: Establish clearer career progression paths and mentorship programs. Provide more opportunities for junior staff to take on leadership roles or specialize in advanced environmental engineering topics.
