Pros

ZAP is a good place to work if you’re willing to work hard, learn quickly, and take ownership for your work. I’ve seen employees commit to ideas or new projects and leadership support them in the pursuit.

Cons

You need to be a self starter and self learner to succeed. ZAP isn’t going to tell you how to do everything. You’ll need to be motivated to learn and work hard to be successful here.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced, technically challenging work building the most important infrastructure in the world - energy and industrial facilities. Great compensation and benefits. Each engineer has a development plan to provide a guide for their growth and career path. On the job training and practical field experience are great for new engineers.

Cons

Consulting is not for everyone due to the accountability of billable work. If you like to slack off it's not a good place for you.
