Pros

- good brand name in the nuclear power industry and in the Pittsburgh area - very competent engineers - great place to work if you're from Pittsburgh, Penn State, or Pitt - well-positioned for growth if demand for low-carbon energy grows

Cons

- near complete lack of competent, capable leaders, from top to bottom - lots of nepotism - very local hiring (Most offices worldwide are staffed primarily by locals, so it winds up being a "multinational" firm and not an integrated global firm.) - main headquarters is new, but located very far from the city - building itself is not well-designed - tenure is usually confused with experience and capability - very short-term business focus - really bad in an industry involved in very long-term projects - benefits are good for Pittsburgh but not great compared to other large firms
