Pros

Have been with the company for 8 and a half years and have been in a variety of roles some better than others but always something interesting. Long View is a company where there can be some great opportunities if you are willing to do the work and grow your skills. There is a great benefits package, an amazing Christmas party and lots of team related events to make sure you don't feel forgotten. General Meetings give the workers a good idea of what is happening with the company. We have some incredible tech that we work with and some very smart people to leverage when assistance is needed.

Cons

Pay could be better and we seem to be a bit heavy in the areas where we aren't making money. We don't practice what we preach when it comes to our own internal environment, this is one area where we need better leaders and more money spent. We got too big too fast and said yes to many projects that we should never have touched. Because we are so big there is many who ended up coming aboard that were not a Long View fit because we needed bodies. Incentives... they just need to go because they don't work for a good chunk of people. If you are a floater or not interested in training or certs or specializing LVS probably wont be a good fit. Also true if you are a workaholic, because while we do say we want people to have a good work life balance there is no checks and balances in place to make sure you don't burn yourself out or get over utilized, seen it many times.

Pros

Centrally located in down town Houston.

Cons

They talk a lot about team and culture but like most consulting companies it comes down to the numbers. They generally have a bad reputation in Houston and are incompetent at selling professional services which will prevent you from hitting your bonus targets. Management changed hands and they systematically released all of their consultants within a few months of each other. I would not trust them with my career or livelihood not would I believe anything they say.
