Pros

Make a good salary for minimal effort

Cons

Management, both middle and upper, will lie to your face about your prospects on being promoted. You will be told you are in the succession plan and that the next management position that opens up is yours only to be notified that someone else was chosen. The majority of middle management is incompetent and upper management is out of touch. This company really is a good OLD boys club and constantly hires and overpays old guys with nuclear industry experience just because at one point in life they may have worked at a nuclear plant. When you are hired, you will told about the company's growth, bonus program, and stock program. The growth ended a while ago and layoffs have been happening regularly for a few years now. Gain share (the quarterly bonus) is non-existent as in the last SEVERAL quarters have been $0 or insultingly small. And the stock is a manipulated number on paper that is worthless unless you can get vested and get paid out before the company runs out of money. Lastly, any good reviews you see on this site are from HR or from management (who HR told to write good reviews to get the score up). Don't ruin your career by coming to work here. Working here is the worst decision I've made and I plan to fix that in the near future by leaving as soon as I can. Maybe at my next job when they say you're in the succession plan for leadership, they will actually be telling the truth and not just feeding you some line to keep you complacent.

Pros

I enjoyed working with my colleagues - they brought a lot of experience and were wonderful to be around. No complaints about pay or benefits, have yet to pay out of pocket for routine eye, dental, or health exams. Some of the travel was cool.

Cons

PMs underbid projects like crazy. We'll have a good proposal drafted up and PM will say "cut 20%" with zero insight into the details and possible repercussions. Of course they disappear once the project is underway and the engineers have to answer for why the projects are out of money. OT is technically available, but since projects are on thin budgets from the start, there's never any available budget to use it. Leadership wants you 95% billable which makes everything cutthroat. People constantly fight over hours to make sure leadership doesn't come around asking why they have more than an hour of OH on their timesheet. I’ve had coworkers beg me for work. After spending a few days getting them hours, they were often no longer available, because they were trying to work on other projects as well. And although we were all fairly knowledgeable, we didn't have any internal standards, so we basically resorted to practices learned from previous jobs, which made for disjointed submittals.
