Pros

- Strong Technical Output - People are JH's greatest asset by far - very strong groups across disciplines & regions

Cons

- Morale is down in large part due to Exec Leadership's focus on results without regard for long term commitment to staff - Most employees feel underappreciated & there has been a mass exodus of top talent in the last 3 years - They have a lot of examples of poor mergers / acquisition integration.

Pros

As someone else said on here, I will leave the pros to the upper management reviews.

Cons

Very difficult to get a raise even if you are meeting all of your goals. Bonuses are little to none. I want to note that a bonus is in fact something extra and not guaranteed but when a company creates goals that appear to be pulled out of thin air and not based on previous years then it seems to be impossible to get a decent bonuses not matter how hard everyone works. Management appears to not care about what engineering staff thinks needs to change to make the company a more pleasurable experience. Jobs are continually going over budget since billing rates are so high that we need to underbid jobs to get them. Quarterly meetings are pointless as the Q and A section only answers "softball" questions while ignoring questions that are an attempt to have engineering staff actually have a discussion on how to fix JH. Benefits are poor. Since we are owned by a financial investment firm all that matters is profit. Company morale and performing quality technical work are not a true concern for upper management.
