Pros

I enjoyed working with some of the other employees within the organization.

Cons

If you're a professional that likes doing what you're good at, Michael Baker isn't the place for you. Micromanagement is the norm here, and any educated decision you make doesn't matter, because screw your education. They're the kind of people who will tell their doctor that their leg isn't broken after he shows them an X-ray of their broken leg. Rather than making decisions based on educated analysis, they're made on the simple opinion of a few. There is no culture within the organization that can compare to what a true company culture should be in 2018. They care more about optics than they do about efficiency. It's easy to imagine no future when sitting in your luxurious coffin sized cubicle while being choked by your suit and tie. The plus side is that while you slowly die on the inside you won't be alone. Thanks to the 3.5' walls of your cubicle you can look your co-workers in the eyes and know you all made a terrible mistake.
