Pros

Flexibility and a great balance between work and home. They truly cared about their employees. Wonderful compensation program and EXCELLENT benefits. They had fun events throughout the year to keep employees engaged and happy. Easy access for commuting or riding the bus. Excellent mix of quality talent, great co-workers and friends.

Cons

This was a great company to work for in the beginning, before they go too big for their britches. Too many chiefs, not enough workers. Management is very hands-off, so if something fails they aren't to blame, but they also take all of the credit if the project goes well. They hand out "Titles" like they are candy. If you are Engineer, then you are given the status of "Associate". There weren't opportunities for advancement or training. The worst part was the lack of recognition for a job well done. Lack of marketing for new projects, really brought this firm to it's knees.

Pros

Really loved the overall culture. They really support you with a community and access to peers. The work life balance was really exceptional.

Cons

The focus on culture over training. Great to have a team mentality but to much slips through the cracks on a professional level. Toxic staff get insulated via seniority and just become untouchable.
