Special Thanks

By Claudia Gonzalez-Liendo, PE Senior Project Engineer

I was not sure what to expect at PCI. It’s been a little over ten months since I walked through PCI’s office doors as a PCI employee and there are no regrets. Camaraderie is a word I can use to describe the office environment because folks show up at the office (yeah!!!). I love being able to walk up to a someone’s desk, pull up a chair, and have one-toone design discussions; it’s a satisfying feeling to give someone guidance on a design question and seeing that designers take the time to read suggested design material so that they learn the “what”, “where” and “why”; great feeling when questions get asked and everyone voices their opinion (in-person or virtual TEAMS meeting), some very good designs and solutions evolve in this manner; impressed when no one questions or objects to an assigned task (even when they’ve never done what is being asked of them, the tasks gets done, typically with support from others); I love it when we work hours and hours to meet a deadline – well, nobody really loves working so many hours and we all have found ourselves complaining occasionally, but I love the fact that the task gets completed.
