Pros

Good salary, moderate pressure, reasonable working conditions. Management is extremely poor about giving information and feedback. Overt favoritism on the part of management. Lack of consistency in treatment of employees. Failure to observe and manage problems, with preference going to an "everything is fine" attitude rather than dealing with problems proactively.

Cons

Overpriced benefits, management which threatens rather than enforces standards, Upper Management's obsession with the amount of money they can pile up at the expense of any other consideration.

Pros

- Some of the individuals were nice

Cons

- Work life and personal life balance - Never enough work to maintain an adequate UT *Therefore the work environment was very competitive *There were too many big and unjustifiable egos (e.g. just because you are a "Managing Scientist/Engineer" and have a high UT for managing a Principal's case load (e.g. glorified administrative work) does not mean you are a stellar scientist or engineer) - Work that was available to maintain a UT was not interesting (e.g. deposition summaries) - Penalized for trying to find work because marketing for work was not billable - Salary - NEVER received a raise - Expensive and very poor health insurance - Did not value scientists or engineers who valued the scientific process or scientific principles *This was a factory for recruiting individuals with graduate degrees to then just churn out hours to make money for the firm *The company meetings always focused on revenue and outstanding AR
