Pros

Was a small company with very talented employees and excellent management (this is no longer the case). All employees worked under a VP directly, with little management interference. Good support during issues. Excellent HR and accounting whom kept up with every detail and always had things in line. 401k benefit is fantastic. I used to feel valued as an individual, but that has drastically changed. Support for conference attendance and training. Used to give ample raises, which has stopped.

Cons

Caliber of employees has drastically decreased. Now they hire anyone. High overhead (take home pay is less than half of charge rate) to accommodate the old and unhealthy people's health insurance. They also don't want anyone to know their charge rate (?) Management is far removed from their employees and what is going on at each job location. Not a small company anymore, but they will continue to advertise that.

Pros

This is a well known and established company. It has many of the perks of a large company. They really encourage involvement in professional organizations. The people in my group were amazing and patient. I couldn't have asked for better mentors.

Cons

Since the buy out in 2010, the employees don't seem to be as valued as higher ups claim. The benefits of being employee owned are gone. A bit before I was let go, there was a cut of around 100 of the most seasoned and valuable employees in the company to make the numbers better. They seemed to cut their feet out from under them.
