Pros

Nice office and decent vehicle program.

Cons

I should have known better. I know a number of former business development people including myself who wouldn't recommend this firm if they were the last company on earth. They are led by yes-men who all drank the kool-aid. Their idea of a business development plan is to write down projects that everyone in the business are aware of and then pretend they have some special insights. Good luck with that. It will be fun to watch. Where's the secret sauce?
