Pros

- Good company with a long history of great projects and achievements. - Great minds all over the company so you feel inspired to achieve great things too. - Flexibility of work hours and location for some positions. - Nice pay with good benefits. - Employee-owned policy means everybody gets to own company shares on their 401(k)s as part of the benefits package.

Cons

- The company has offices all over the country, so middle management differs a lot in style (and ego) depending on location.

Pros

The 401k is good, that's it..

Cons

The main complaint is having to beg for work within the company. They don't have enough work to give you and then complain that your overhead is too high. Communication and training is terrible. I've sent numerous emails to coworkers only to be ignored. You have to keep reaching out for someone to respond to you. The project managers also don't budget the labor for their projects well. They're very tight about how many hours you should spend on an assignment and it's often unreasonable, like read and compare a 600+ page document to a 300+ page technical document in 2 work days. The health insurance sucks too. Things that used to be covered are no longer covered such as basic labs. The insurance carrier is always denying services such as an MRI.
