Pros

You can relax some as long as you know what to do for your daily activities at work. You also can get promoted when you know the right people with your own qualification ready.

Cons

When projects are down you better sit tight and do a good job as long as you have a job to do. Sometimes it does not matter whether you have a job to do or not. They will lay you off without blinking one tenths of eyelid. You better be ready for your own career path.

Pros

Pay is good. They also contribute to your HSA and provide public transportation or parking subsidy. 5.5% match of 401K. The new leadership is trying to reshape the company.

Cons

Typical EPC company. Your job is depending on whether there is a project for you to work on. Some clients want to interview you before accept you to work on their projects. Previous executive leaders made some stupid decisions and the company has lost its glory a lot. The new CEO brought a lot of VP from his previous company but has not turned into more new backlog yet. Very old school and the department I work for provides no support at all. All they care is you fill in the time sheet right.
