"I asked to work from home about 6 years ago. It wasn't something that was practiced. My boss went out of her way to allow it as I offered her a trial period and said I'd come in for any meetings that required in person presence. She understood that different things mattered to different employees."

"AW has several branches from the regulated to the federal side of water...if you apply to work for the AWE military services group and obtain a managerial role, then expect to work long hours, weekends, and holidays. It is a high touch, high level of communication work culture. Please don’t settle for the first salary offer they present, always negotiate. It’s a high stress work environment too. If you can survive a stress, micromanaging work environment then this place may be perfect for you. The benefit of working for such a large company are the outstanding corporate resources and training opportunities. One positive thing to say, is you will never stop learning with AW. "

"Historically, it's been really good... But they decided money is more important and are apparently changing the work from home policy from 2 days to 1 day, claiming a tax cut. However we all now know this has nothing to do with it... It's the headcount overall. "

"My spouse (I am in a same-sex relationship) carried our son; I was able to take leave in order to spend time at home after his birth and I was able to have a flexible work schedule and a generous work from home schedule for the remainder of the year. Leave is typical for a decent US employee."
