Pros

For a large company, does an amazing job of cross-communication. Focus on organic growth branching out from current strengths. Tries harder than any company I have ever worked for to keep work in-house and everyone working.

Cons

Billability is a thing, inescapable part of the business, but always a con. Business development efforts are required for senior employees on top of their 40 billable hours. Weekends, holidays even Christmas can get eaten.

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.
