Clueless

Pros

Location is good, staff are very eager. Wins a lot of work as they use graduates/junior engineers in place of senior staff which means the rates are always low. Employs a high number of contract staff which means overheads are low Will give you plenty of rope, just try not to hang yourself.

Cons

Management are completely clueless Run by very politically motivated people who believe functionality and deadlines come second to covering ones backside. Does not have the tools to do the job. Often leave projects half done for others to rectify, then take the credit

Houston Booming - Atkins Busting

Anonymous employee

Pros

Talented co-workers. Very good benefits and flexible work schedules to enable a family work life balace. Nice office great dining nearby.

Cons

Political, corrupt with rampant favortism. Demoralizing & demotivating management style, manage by intimidation. Constant re-organization leaves employees unsettled and fearful of being laid off. Management has admitted for years that they have horrible communication skills yet do not correct. A revolving door for talented people. Declining reputation in the industry.
