Careers
The right size. No passengers.
Why People Stay
We have never wanted to be a large engineering firm. This is not a stage we are passing through on the way to four hundred, it is the choice. Staying this size is what lets us take the work that actually matters and make a difference to how it turns out, rather than filling a utilization target.
At this size everyone is visible, which is a good thing if you are good and an uncomfortable one if you are not. It is also why the bench has held together for ten years.
There is nobody sitting between you and the work. No layer rewriting your calculation before the client sees it, and no layer to hide behind when it is wrong.
The Work You Would Get
A firm this size only gets hired for the difficult ones.
Nobody brings a firm this size a routine scope. They bring the job their usual firm turned down.
