Pros

Big and interesting projects at locations around the world

Cons

Bonuses are three to four times below the marketplace. Overhead budgets are not large enough to do proper marketing training or technology. All profits go to stock buyback or executive manager stock options

Pros

Supports career growth, especially with younger employees Good opportunities to expand career skills for beginner engineers Frequent pay raises, bonuses, and promotions are given to high-achieving employees Several holidays off and end of year bonuses based on contract performance. Worldwide company with diversity and inclusion.

Cons

Very understaffed; company is slow to hire personnel even with increased workloads to current staff. Has difficulty retaining mid-level and senior level employees. Starting pay rates are below the industry average. Benefits are okay, but not great. Examples: combined sick and paid time off, no HSA contribution matches.
