So Far, So Good

Pros

Insurance Benefits are very good compared to others in the market. The overall benefits package is pretty good compared to some other places I have worked.

Cons

There is WAY too much overhead, and goals set by management for groups and individuals are too "one-size-fits-all" to be realistic for each market they are trying to reach. LOTS of emphasis on the numbers: i.e., "Is your office/region profitable enough?" Too much viewing the model as a traditional engineering office, rather than being flexible enought to serve the actual market you are in.

Stepping stone company, management is stuck in the 1980s

Unless you are male with an engineering degree, this company would be a stepping stone company to gain experience

Pros

Good work life balance. Additional education, training encouraged.

Cons

Their career track program is a sham. Promotions rarely happen unless key people quit or retire. You might be okay working here if you start at your beginning of your career. Tenure, not resume, is paramount for advancement.
