Wesley, be honest.

This is a nicely-worded way of saying "sweat-shop," isn't it?

Not that there's anything wrong with that; it seems that more and more "specialty design-build" firms of which I'm aware are "sweat-shops" these days. It's a good place for a kid just out of school to get his baptism of fire, but you also get a large turnover and a small but significant number of "burnouts" who quit engineering altogether to go into real estate (or worse, to law school), etc.

Just sayin'.
