Pros

good size projects that were challenging, sink or swim mentality made you learn fast. a good many colleagues i stay in touch with.

Cons

toxic work environment, very nasty management. almost to a person. everyone is out for themselves. they lie about budgets and schedules then throw everyone under the bus at the end. You spend more time explaining what you did than actually working. Last few years there was the worst experience of my professional life.

Not the place it used to be

Pros

Competitive salary, good technical people to work with, good schedule.

Cons

Not a very friendly place for people requiring sponsorship (foreigners). The company has very poor management, not only on high level but regional. It allows very few space for people to grow internally; only a few are allowed to moved forward. No mentoring, too much stress trying to maintain UT when managers charge projects when they don't need to, and using money that could be used for the staff that really works in the project. People are not treated fairly.
