Pros

Company is continuously looking to enter new markets and/or develop presence in existing markets. Outlook and strategy is good and lends to sustainability.

Cons

Large, growing company with aging workforce. Age/duration at Company appears to carry more weight than performance/productivity. Training & Development programs are weak to non-existent.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
