Pros

- Great company to work for and have lots of exciting projects - Great people - Lots of social events - Always looking to work on new technology - Great for diversity probably one of the best i seen - Have a great manager - Work life balance

Cons

- Promotion is bit of a issue but every company has this issue - Disconnected if working on a project for a demanding client - At times to much emphasis on winning work and not enough on planning but that is the nature of the beast - 3-4 days in the office, this makes sense if you are working at a client site but when going to office just to sit on client calls virtually makes no sense. Think its a shame they gone back to this when it worked so well during the covid period. Only matter of time before it will be mandatory for 5 days in the office.

Pros

Niche software dev BU followed through with employment offer after 6 month contract-to-hire period. Provided me FMLA and even additional 2 weeks paid maternity leave without any legal obligation. Hybrid remote/office-based strategy supported work-life balance. Employee-ownership of company strengthened team mentality. Improved my resource management skills, built network via enterprise training sessions, increased GIS and agile methodology domain knowledge, and learned interesting facts about sustainability and construction engineering environmental design dependencies. Also, I felt heard and valued after my project risk reporting was addressed by leadership and a major issue avoided.

Cons

My labor cost became commercially restrictive after leadership changes at a strategic client. I was impacted during an Oct. Reduction in Force post a re-org.
