Pros

Good benefits package in line with competitors. Good Investment in your training. Well known name to use on your resume when you leave.

Cons

Mass exodus a few years back resulted in several promotions in management to some under qualified and incompetent people, seemingly out of desperation. If you are not part of the “in” crowd, you may have a tough time getting anywhere. Totally ridiculous evaluation process easily and unfairly manipulated by stealth reviewers and constantly changing goals. Senior PM’s and Exec’s with the ability to avoid real issues and roll their responsibilities into your lap without any support. They have no problem taking credit for your hard work when things go well and just as easily pointing fingers if things start to go south. Rarely will you get any recognition for your efforts and success. Don’t get me wrong, there are some very smart and talented folks, but most have left the company leaving the weasels behind to run the show. Work Life Balance is nothing more than propaganda. Percentage of experienced people has dwindled over the past several years leaving some of the lower paid, less experienced in way over their heads. Commonly referred to by some subcontractors and clients as "Turner Tots". Kind of scary.

Pros

The company has a long history of success in the region which ultimately provides employees with an opportunity to work on some of the most prestigious projects within this market. Senior management is people focused.

Cons

There is very limited potential for career growth past middle management. The company is essentially managed by two individuals and will likely remain that way for the foreseeable future.
