Pros

Company size and investment in technology is progressive compared to others in this space. Company communication seems to be decent, as large as the company is. They use a system called LiveWire where employees can get company updates, find fellows within the org, and find forms for HR, healthcare, etc. They seem to get a lot of work, though I don't know why.

Cons

Management is fragmented and constantly trying to keep their teams put together. The best employees leave and go FTE with a client or go to other shops. There seems to be a higher revolving door similar to what was seen at Sasco. I wanted to believe I was working for an elite contractor, but I kept finding myself disappointed in the management's decisions and course of actions. When I called attention to it, I was fired. I am not bitter, Cupe lost one of the best and brightest and they will never get me back.

Pros

Cupertino has created a strong culture of employee success, From its outstanding employee leaders to the programs and professional growth opportunities it offers, CEI continually shows how much it values its people. The company's commitment to developing and supporting fosters an environment where employees can thrive both personally and professionally.

Cons

Not many cons here at CEI. But if I had to add one, it'd be more to do with the hiring process. At times we need personnel to be onsite sooner but the process and approvals tend to take a lot longer than normal places.
