Pros

-Plenty of opportunity for challenging projects and PM/leadership if you work hard -Entry level nuclear systems and PRA course is high quality -Plenty of seasoned industry experts in nuclear/PRA to work with and learn from -Employees care about each other and want to see each other succeed -Frequent raises for high performers (although raise percentages shrinking) -Opportunity for engineers to participate and guide industry cutting edge software development -Due to the multitude of clients/projects, competent engineers get plenty of autonomy even from a young age

Cons

-Owned by venture capital and continuously more focused on profit and new business (sometimes at ethically questionable costs)--has lead to focus on quantity over quantity, toxic prioritization in what should be a client-focused business (consulting) -Upper management is disconnected and has poor rapport with employees; messages seem fake and have unrealistic company goals -Middle management are technical engineers thrown into leadership positions leading to poor employee morale during substantial changes arising from relentless mergers -Never enough employees for the work. Poor resource planning; only look to hire after it's too late and people are drowning in work. -Poor to non-existent technical review structure (in nuclear/PRA) leading to questionable quality or mistakes slipping through
