Pros

Good people in the engineering ranks. Good relationships can be cultivated within the projects. The company has opportunities to leverage its talent.

Cons

Disorganized at the top of the organization...no accountability. Communication is very poor from the top down. Benefits are poor and not competitive.

Pros

Salaries above other competitive firms.

Cons

Extremely political. Your associations can either make/break you. A person's rise to the top is not necessarily based on hard work, honesty, & integrity. Those who believe in the later approach typically leave the company.

Pros

There really are currently no pros. Company benefits and pay are declining each year

Cons

No salary raises for 3 years. Did receive a 12.5% pay REDUCTION. All in the name of winning a contract. No training money available for certifications
