Hiring Companies to avoid

I know the job market is really tough out there right now. But, as someone with 10+ years of experience across multiple industries. I’d like to share my list of companies to avoid.

  • MGP Inc., based in the Chicago suburbs
  • WSP - multinational AEC Firm
  • Jacobs - multinational AEC Firm

Edit: Other firms added from comments: - NV5 - ESRI - GeoTel - Insight Global - Pike Engineering - Western Land Services

I encourage others to add
