Pros

Opportunity to work on big projects and build up your CV

Cons

No plan to deal with the market downturn. The only plan is to fire the low paid staff and keep the top management who are the main source of overheads.

Pros

Decent pay (for some) Good holiday party Good coworkers at the lower levels (as in, degreed engineers & PEs) who I have enjoyed working with. Some very good project managers.

Cons

Providing feedback to management is perceived as "complaining". it is clear they are not interested in listening, which is a shame given the deterioration of stock price as well as employee morale. Management lacks direction, and forces very good workers to "firefight" constantly, which means the quality of work suffers. This condition has gotten remarkably worse in the past year or two, and has fed on itself. Layoffs coupled with the thoughtless dropping of remaining workload onto remaining staff (not delegated, which would imply thinking was involved) have created a negative unhappy stressful work environment. Very Political. Good, solid engineers are taken advantage of, used, and sucked dry. There is not time for training / mentoring of staff. Interns are often nepotistic hires related to managers, and sometimes are not even engineering students. And are expected to be billable to (stretched thin) projects, while knowing next to nothing. Mediocre managers stay on staff way too long. Very rarely is "thank you" heard... Even when remarkable "saves" are made on jobs that otherwise would have gone up in flames. Ridiculous & useless service award.
