Pros
- Benefits: PTO is 18 days/yr starting + holidays, bereavement leave, etc. Three health plan options. - The principles and senior management team are good people. - The Restructure in 2010 created more paths to "move up" - Social Responsibility - giving to Charities - Good camaraderie with your office/peers - They provide the tools to work with people all over the country - Good connections available across the country in your discipline - good raises, including your first professional license
Cons
- Development of the staff is not a priority company-wide. - Project managers have too many roles. - You drive your own career. You have to find your own work, even as a junior level employee - Not very many people have the "one-company" mentality. The culture is: First you cover your own ass, then your friends, then your office, then maybe help the others throughout the company. - Low Morale - It is very difficult to change your position if you are not satisfied. Your best chance is to relocate to another office or switch companies. - Very slow to replace employees - Don't count on your ESOP for retirement
