Pros

Employee owned. The company really values integrity. Effort is made to balance workloads. Flexibility to work from home. Overall, great company to work for.

Cons

They suddenly took away overtime pay for staff other than junior level. It is a large corporation and communication from the top is not always the best. Leadership expects staff to be in the office 5 days a week with some exceptions.

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.
