Pros

Apprears to be some flexibility with management staff. How much flexibility is within question.

Cons

Cheap. Employees finance the company. Meaning you pay out of your own pocket first and wait for reimbursement. Management staff should be provided with company credit cards and shouldnt have to temp finance a company of this size. Work life balance is a big issue for this firm as they claim to be staffing up but they arent they are just moving work from office to office hoping that their current staff doesnt quit. Put in for a job in the Fairfax office but never got interviewed by that office at all...Had an office manager out of Baltimore try to convince me that I needed to be in his office instead. Leadership and knowledge is in question for this firm.

Pros

It's a good place to gain some technical skills for entry level engineers. Stay for a couple of years then move on. If you're lucky enough to have a good boss then your experience could be fulfilling. Office is generally laid back.

Cons

If you stay 10 years, you get $1,000 for your loyalty. 10 years starting from 2012, not when you actually started. If there's a natural disaster that forces an office to close, you will be asked to use accrued vacation days or personal leave to make up the hours. That pretty much sums up how out of touch upper management is. The bottom line rules everything. Engineers at all skill levels are seen as commodities and are easily replaceable, even though the company says otherwise. Opportunities to advance your career within the company is poor. The movie Office Space is a pretty accurate depiction of how the company is run.
