Pros

Government work. Little to no oversight, no supervision to speak of ... keep your head down and mouth shut ... as long as you are billable, out of sight, you are out of your mind ... and theirs.

Cons

The supervision has no ethics. That would get in the way of making money off the government. If you work for them you work in a co-employment environment with the subcontractors and the government where doing anything may not be the right thing ... look behind the facade before working for them.

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.
