Pros

International travel opportunities; ability to advance, but based on who you know, not what you know

Cons

This in an engineering firm that acquires good architecture and design companies, then stifles any of their creativity with bureaucratic processes and poor management. Innovation is almost nonexistent. Not surprisingly, stockholders come first, employees - their "greatest asset" - come last. Focus is placed on landing only large accounts ($millions) with an unwillingness to look at a variety of market types.
