Pros

Let people work on their own (trust) with minimal oversight.

Cons

Moving up requires entry into 'the club'. You have to be mobile and not a complainer. Risk of layoff if projects are slow coming in the door. Willingness to relocate is a requirement as one advances in the company.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
