Pros

Good projects. Teams can be good at the small (local) level. Pay is decent.

Cons

Management doesn't care about the employees. Nearly all of the workforce doesn't like open office, yet it was pushed on everyone to "encourage collaboration" when really it just means they can cram 20 people in a space that should have been dedicated to 6 people. Benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc.) are worse than at other consulting firms.

Pros

There are some nice people in the office. "Flex hours" are nice when your manager lets you use them. Easy commute.

Cons

Nobody trains entry level employees. Senior staff takes the easier work, dumps pointless work on new employees. The job description and talk from the interview process made the job seem entirely different than what it actually was. I gained no valuable environmental experience from the year I worked here.

Pros

The level of flexibility is excellent and there is a good deal of independence for junior staff. People are kind.

Cons

Disappointing level of emphasis on junior level staff development. Constantly feel as though we are filling in gaps and providing a set of hands rather than a set of skills. Opportunities to take on more responsibility and challenging work are infrequent difficult to pursue as a result of utilization requirements and poor management at the group level. Financial incentives are nonexistent.
