A Respected Brand's Slow Death

Pros

The PB brand has a ~130 year legacy and is widely respected. At its core the company still values technical excellence and a commitment to its clients that is probably second to none.

Cons

Cutting overhead is not a growth strategy. Investment in the training and development of its people, particularly its PMs and Project Accountants has been pretty much eliminated over the past 7-8 years. The firm wants to excel in the at-risk environment. Yet management believes the PMs it hires or promotes will naturally excel without deep training -- and with contractor clients no less. Similar problem with PM tools -- the Project Accounting system has seen very few improvements since 1993. The better PMs run their projects in Excel. This is not sustainable long term.

Pros

Employees are not micro-managed. You are treated as an adult. Professional environment

Cons

A recent sale of the company leaves unknowns related to future changes. since this is a construction role - you need to find another job when your project ends.
