Pros

They had a couple experts and a whole lot of marketing and poor leadership creating very poor culture at many locations. Very much a "good old boys" type culture where internal politics were omnipresent and caustic. A few bad apples at many offices, protected by their buddies in leadership roles, so just horribly toxic at best. Lots of focus on billable hours, operates more like a law firm than consulting engineering firm. Focus on profits with minimal regard for actual impact to clients. The only real success parameter seems to be profits, and everything else falls off.

Cons

Poor leaders that sustain poor and often toxic culture. Not impressed with "leadership" of Jeff Biskup who spent an embarrassing amount of time at one particular large company meeting wanting to talk about adding "swagger" into the business, which was very odd. Longevity does not equate to excellence, and this was glowing example.

Pros

The leadership team generally demonstrates a friendly demeanor; however, I was in the field, and my interactions with them were limited. I appreciated the competitive starting per diem rate offered.

Cons

It seems the F&B division is disorganized compared to the Pharma side. F&B was placed under the rest of the company, so hopefully this will improve things. Health benefits are okay, but I joined my wife's government benefits. Many supervisors seem self-centered, leading to confusion, frustration, and delays.
