      Pros

      Professional environment with pathways to development and growth. The work is rewarding and challenging and never boring. The compensation and benefits are commensurate with a mid sized professional engineering company.

      Cons

      In order to move up you will have to either relocate or travel an extraordinary amount, taking time away from family and friends. The hours can be long and ravel will be more and more as you advance.

      Easygoing and friendly work environment, but no room for growth.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The work environment was friendly all departments were encouraged to work as a team. The salary was very good. You were allowed to work independently and at your own pace.

      Cons

      The downside to the relaxed work environment was lack of a decent appraisal system. There seemed to be little work recognition and the few promotions were solely given at the managerial level. This was the reason I left. Lack of growth potential.

      Pros

      Smart people, a number of national experts

      Cons

      East Coast upper management out of touch with issues outside their home territory Focus on preserving stock price for upper management Too ready to cut staff as short-term money saver to detriment of long-term growth Engineering tools and attention to detail lower than at some other firms Friction between client service groups and production groups
