Pros

My immediate coworkers are great Flexible schedule is offered, and management has been responsive to desired schedule changes Pay is pretty good - appears to be about average for industry

Cons

Communication within organization poor Company does so many things, that it is easy to get lost in the shuffle Offices pitted against one another for work Procedural questions often go unanswered Excessive required internal paperwork combined with a requirement to maintain very high (over 90%) bill-ability causes high levels of stress. Because of lack of communication, there are offices (or subsets of offices) with little to no work, when other offices are contracting outside of the company for the very services offered by those offices that need work. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. The company has lost sight of the importance of local work, leaving people with specific local expertise trying to play catch up so that they can do work in different regions. There is an overall feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Layoffs come without warning, in a seemingly haphazard and illogical way. No respect for what people actually contribute. Atmosphere of fear is pervasive. Never thought I'd work somewhere that reminds me of "office space"!

Pros

It is a great company to work for. You get to meet and work with many knowlegable professionals on many state of the art and interesting projects. The company offers plenty of opportunities to work in a variety of environments.

Cons

On a downside, the company that has been growing at a very fast pace creating many changes and challenges, that as an employee, one must deal with.
