Pros

Flexible work hours. Nice and approachable people to work with (except for a few sour apples, as in any work environment). Middle management recognizes good work done by employees and acknowledges this.

Cons

No structured or formal training program for junior technical staff (scientists / engineers). Almost everything is learned on the go and on the job. Management's main focus is on the short term, therefore (as was already said in a another review), employee success and value is measured almost solely on chargeability of a project, and not on professional development. Seems like the career advancement path is a very long journey, so growth within the company will take a long time for junior people joining.

Pros

Direct managers within the office are nice people. Colleagues are also nice. Opportunity for career growth if you stick around long enough. Some interesting projects.

Cons

*USA offices * Decision-makers at the top of the chain get to have the benefits of remote work (employees remotely work-sharing across offices) but do not allow employees to do the same (if you’re working with a completely remote team you must still come into the office). Despite having proven through the COVID-era that employees can successfully work remotely senior leadership is planning a full return to office 5 days/wk. Lousy healthcare benefits, below-avg compensation. Employees with less than 40 hrs/wk of project work are forced to create technical documents to justify charging to company time when the root cause is the firm not winning projects.
