AEI is a tremendous and innovative MEP firm who invests in technology and REALLY cares about it's people. A phenomenal work atmosphere and unbelievable benefits. Let me give you some examples: Dedicated travel, accounting, HR, IT and other resources to make your life easier. Need to change your flight, no problem, call their travel advisor -done. Survey tools to support faster responses to clients. The reinvest saved monies into their people. They don't make you use your vacation every year. Great oversight and team effort where every office, every person is "ready and willing to help". No silo's, fiefdoms. Great managers and staff. Benefits?!?!?!? Major medical issue for me. Multiple doctor offices, single $100 dollar co-pay for CT, and that's it. 25k surgery, and all I paid was $100 (excludes the Physical therapy co-pays), medicine? $10-$20 Company offset and absorbed all insurance increases 2 years ago. Working home because of COVID, they asked me: Do you need multiple monitor? When I said, yes, they gave me 2 35" LCD's to use.. Contributed additional money to everyone's 401k as a bonus this year. I mean if you want an awesome EMPLOYER, and you want challenge, and personal stability you should do whatever you can to work anywhere in AEI, Truly the best employer I have ever worked for! That's not to say that you wont work though. Expect sophisticated projects and long hours. However, it is totally worth it. Have not updated my resume in 5 years, and am hoping to stay with AEI for a very long time.

I thought I was incredible at what I do until I began working with this team. It’s hard to shine when everyone else is incredible at what they do as well. The team is willing to share knowledge and experience so we all raise each other’s game. When the workload gets intense it can be stressful with conflicting deadlines but if you need help, ask. The team comes together to meet the deadlines and maintain the highest standards of work. Management is very supportive and encourages continuous learning. As you learn and gain experience the deadlines become less stressful. If you want kick back and fly under the radar this isn’t the team for you. If you want to work on the most incredible projects of your career and learn from the best while you continually improve your skill set then this is the place. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
You are treated like a real person and your happiness actually matters to the leadership. I work in the Boston office in MEP commissioning and I love it here.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part was having to adapt to a new workplace and leaving my old job. Kinda normal stress when you start a new job anywhere.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is one of good mentoring and the other affiliated offices are great with help when you need it.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Days in the office are pretty typical of any office job. People are able to collaborate with others from other departments and talk openly in the open office environment. Kitchen is stocked with stuff to drink and snacks. There are lunch & learn opportunities often held in the conference room. Remote work opportunities are available and thats a great benefit.

They like "self-starters", which sounds great if you're an ambitious and dedicated worker, but they never mention actually compensating or rewarding anyone for "self-starting". They will let employees work as hard/much as they want, but do not recognize or reward it. Nothing but glowing reviews, until you ask for a promotion or raise-then suddenly there's a slew of criticisms and expectations of your work that were never previously communicated with you. I never once saw a manager offer to match or compete with an employees outside job offer. Only interest lies in squeezing as much productivity as possible from their employees before they decide to leave. 

The employees are all very good at what they do, and the office culture is pretty nice and laid-back. I would have stayed indefinitely if I could be paid market-rate for my work. 

Very fast paced work, long hours, challenging deadlines, but overall majority of people were great.  Compensation, however, was lacking compared to market rates and inconsistent from office to office.  Consistently heard from current and former employees the management team would unfairly base compensation on minimum employee would accept versus rewarding employees with great reviews.  If you are a passive individual or do not enjoy being competitive with co-workers for raises, you would be wise to look other at other employers.  Alternatively, if you have an aggressive personality, you will do well.

Professional and productive workplace. I learned Plumbing and Fire Protection Autodad and design, also cad coordination. Immediate supervisors always helpful. Co-workers good to work with, pleasant and hard working. The hardest part of the job is the pressure to finalize everything at deadlines, especially when there are several at the same time. The most enjoyable part of the job is the feeling of accomplishment and feeling a part of something that really matters.

Manage multiple projects
Coordinate information and keep engineers informed of task due
Set up staff meetings once a week
Trained on NewForma software
Job or my duties were never difficult or stressful
I enjoyed working on my own without supervision
Co-workers were very professional and great to work with

As a project engineer work and expectations are high.  Some dept. Are short trained production help.
No inplace training.   New engineers (by and larger) don't have dedication to invest their own free time to train.  Most older engineers feel they are spoiled and part of the everyone gets a trophy generation.  Lack grit and personal responsibility.  Company needs better screening and creating expectation of real work.

Being someone who did not have much prior experience in building performance, I was nervous to start working here -- but soon enough, with all the other employee's help, I felt like I fit in. After my summer internship, I had learned all the essentials to building performance which made my winter break internship return go much more smoothly.

Great place to work and learn about the engineering culture with the ability to grow.  They rely on you being a professional in your work and personal like and do not manage you like most work environments do. As long as you take pride in your work and focus on the client and your team, you will enjoy working here.
