Pros

Some interesting projects the company wins, when it decides to bid..

Cons

Poor salary compared to other engineering consultancies. Difficult to get involved in interesting projects as management wants to keep costs down rather than train and develop their engineers, so the work is outsourced to cheaper resources.

There are some good people here and there, it is safe, it was a nice company at the beginning of my employment before things went downhill
