Pros

Opportunity to work on a variety of assignments. Used to prize technical excellence above all else. Not so much anymore.

Cons

There is no sense of mission or team or pride in one's work anymore. There seems to be no leadership at the top and the morale has been free falling since the new leadership team came to power 2 years ago.

Pros

Lot of help from supervisors and colleagues. Pretty straight forward once you learn what to do. I enjoyed it while it lasted.

Cons

Nothing I can think of. The whole experience was pleasant. I couldn't ask for a better experience. The job can be mundane at some points but overall very good.

Pros

Good benefits. Thats it.

Cons

Too many to list! Very few project opportunities - they have decided to focus on only the mega-projects, so for a given office there may be only 1 or 2 projects in the works, which makes career advancement nearly impossible. The company president only cares about the numbers - he has zero appreciation of the people - and beats a tired drum 'that the company isn't making enough money'. Mind you they've had record revenue years 3 out of the past 4, but no revenue or profit sharing with employees. They are rolling out new software initiatives every couple of months without care that the company staff aren't able to keep up. Everyone has impossible utilization goals. They are shrinking every office across the company and forcing staff with 30 years of experience to sit in call-center cubicle arrangements.
