Pros

Healthcare, great party scene with lots of drinking encouraged. Working on prestigious projects with global reach. Being an ex-pat is a plus.

Cons

They cycle through GC's (amongst other staff) it makes it impossible to keep things organized. They seem to fire the most experienced whenever possible. There is no real clear leader of the office. I think we had an office manager at one point who knew what she was doing, can't have that, they made her redundant. The NY office hasn't decent person in HR since their Administrator quit in 2011. She was the only one that did what she said she would, and seemed to know HR. The past 5 years has been hit or miss. You may get the information, you may not. Start an inquiry with one HR person and they seem to leave before it is complete. Engineers are worked to the bone. BH get their pound of flesh, if you complain, you are gone not soon after.

Pros

Other than the friendly and mostly easy to work with engineers, There are no good reasons to work here if you want to maintain your sanity or any kind of life outside of the office (ie not having to sleep there to meet deadlines).

Cons

Clueless principals and partners who turn a blind eye to unfair and unsafe working conditions. Refuse to upgrade site safety equipment seriously outdated. Such obvious favoritism. No competent or consistent HR.
