Pros

Really great colleagues (the reason many people stay for years), variety of project work, exposure to new opportunities, flexible schedule

Cons

Unreasonable expectations when it comes to sold-time and billable metrics (95% billable or required to take PTO/LWOP yet the company claims to promote employee training & development), 95% of culture is on financial gain while the company is hemorrhaging employees and losing all their top talent, Creating unattainable metrics to lose employees because of the poor financial decision they made to acquire URS, Lack of transparency from senior management, Staff scientists, engineers, planners, support, are the slave-driving force of the company but are treated as disposable, undervalued, financial chess pieces

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
