Pros

- good brand name in the nuclear power industry and in the Pittsburgh area - very competent engineers - great place to work if you're from Pittsburgh, Penn State, or Pitt - well-positioned for growth if demand for low-carbon energy grows

Cons

- near complete lack of competent, capable leaders, from top to bottom - lots of nepotism - very local hiring (Most offices worldwide are staffed primarily by locals, so it winds up being a "multinational" firm and not an integrated global firm.) - main headquarters is new, but located very far from the city - building itself is not well-designed - tenure is usually confused with experience and capability - very short-term business focus - really bad in an industry involved in very long-term projects - benefits are good for Pittsburgh but not great compared to other large firms

Pros

Great team of people. My co-workers were respectful and helpful. There are opportunities to change roles and move between company locations.

Cons

Culture was too conservative. In recent years, company has become increasingly progressive and change oriented / nimble. Too many employees head for the door at 5pm.
