Pros

Great Projects Good mentors learn a lot if between 0-8 years experience

Cons

love how architecture CEO has over $65 million is ESOP account & lays off staff to boost Company value and his own stock value. Then hire cheaper less experienced people each year. GOP = Greed Over People People find any way to get people thrown out of company. Once you get some experience get out!

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.
