Pros

If you become a liked individual you will be given preference for how you are treated. This includes work assigned, flex time, raises...etc.

Cons

Knowledge sharing is actively discouraged. Schedules are haphazardly defined. Some projects are way overstimated while others are way underestimated. Middle management tends to avoid issues until upper management deems there is a problem.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
