Pros

Great co-workers and employees. Flexible schedule, very little forced overtime. Great downtown location with good public transportation access.

Cons

Too many Department Managers that are marginally billable charging to overhead while skilled billable employees are forced to use PTO, time off without pay (convenience leave) or modified part time (21 hours a week) while waiting for projects to startup. Billable employees are discouraged and even prohibited from charging hours to overhead.
