Pros

CEO cares about people .. does best not to lay people off. Good work-life balance on military contracts. A lot of work with interesting technology, if you are in the right division.

Cons

Some corporate directives don't work for business units, causing headaches. Benefits were better two years ago than now. The acquisition by Jacobs technology hasn't been a positive for Tybrin employees. Sometimes top management has been less than honest.
