Pros

- Global company with multiple office locations. - New career opportunities crop up quickly, just need to network with other locations. - Promote continued education. - Good entry level job.

Cons

- Salary not competitive. - Poor cross division communication/integrity. - No clear accountability structure. - Insufficient employee training. - Work/life balance not priority even though management states otherwise. Management expects more and more from employees without motivating incentives. - Unclear expectations. - Heavy workload assigned to all, work expectations exceed resources, no one to support or help. - Senior management is solely money oriented with no regard for employees. - No trust amongst staff as a result of heavy workload and unhappy colleagues.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
