Pros

Technical expertise is valued. There is a lot of leeway given to perform my job function. When you do a good job, the contribution is recognized. I feel like I am running a small company inside the larger company, complete with schedule, budget, and staffing responsibilities, but without the administrative minutia. The company is growing overall, stable, and a great stock buy!

Cons

There is not good information flow from management to the workforce. There is even less information flow from business development to the workforce. Travel requirements seem to be rising, which is hard on family life.

Pros

Extremely Stable organization with little to no risk in a downturn economy. There are many opportunties to explore various job opportunities and work both domestically and internationally. Regardless of the US economy, this is an extremely stable firm through financial efficiency and broad diversity of service offerings.

Cons

Very low cost focused, often at the expense of innoviation. Very stove piped with respect to the aproach to business which cause internal competition that is unecessary.
