Pros

- Above-market salary - Flexible schedule - Cutting-edge tools - Well respected by Wall Street

Cons

Focus on culture change in last few years has led to an aggressively secular progressive cultural environment. Intense focus on dividing people into respective demographic employee network groups or training you to be an "ally". Communications both internal and external increasingly focused on cultural events and causes championed by the left. If you have even slightly conservative or traditional values, just beware. "Future of work" remote environment creates additional challenges in team productivity and do not account for individual situations. Growth through acquisitions can create opportunities, but also an environment of constant change.

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.
