Pros

Very large company with high profile clients and projects. Huge network of peers to learn from.

Cons

The company cares little about their employees. There are very few opportunities for training or self-growth. Promotions are withheld and raises are stingy with the reason always being that the company is doing poorly (even though it makes billions in profit).

Pros

Some of the best people I've ever worked with.

Cons

Management is confused about strategy and where to invest. Management has completely lost touch with the business, their clients and their employees. New management is even worse; now fighting a downward spiral.

Pros

Pay is extremely good. You work 9 hours a day Monday thru Thursday and get 1/2 a day off on Fridays. People are good to work with.

Cons

As with all Engineering firms if the work load gets slow people go home without pay. Benefits are expensive.
