Pros

I find the work to be technically interesting. I meet interesting people and get to travel to various places that I otherwise would not visit. Company management can be helpful in finding new contracts to work for. Interactions with coworkers / clients have so far been good.

Cons

The work is based on the specific contract and there isn't much flexibility around it. The working hours can be long at times. The work environment is determined by our client and may not be as comfortable as a traditional corporate setting. If the client site is closed on a particular day (ie. extreme weather), we have to use our vacation time for that day.

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.
