Pros

The people in my local office were brilliant, but an exception to the other offices and general overall culture of the firm.

Cons

* IT systems are woeful, and its business systems & bureaucracy are bloated to the point that they actually prevent engineers from being good engineers. * Reasonably high fee's to clients paired with low / mediocre quality of work output, I'm sure makes some staff feel ashamed of being a part of the company. * Get the feeling that the internal PR and promoted corporate culture is basically all talk no action.

Pros

Large organisation with superb HR and employee investment. Great training and support from managers. Opportunities to grow your career in any direction. It is an amazing place to meet with world leading engineers in almost any discipline form aviation to zoology (maybe). The whole culture is focussed on being the best.

Cons

Too many business units, difficult to collaborate with other business units. Easy to step on other units accounts without realising there is an existing relationship. Often this relationship is working in an entirely different part of the customer's organisation with limited customer links from one part to the other.
