Pros

At the Framingham office, there was a lot of diversity so co-workers are good. Work is based on clients so you may get to work on different interesting projects depending on client. You have an opportunity to work on different parts of the life cycle of a project so you learn a lot (from project inception to construction). If you are full-time there are benefits such as tuition reimbursement, which is nice. Very little micro-management from the manager or supervisors. Generally a relaxed environment. Large corporate structure, so there is a lot of resources available. If you wanted to switch/transfer, there are several locations available (not guaranteed to get your desired location, but the options are available and management is usually willing to talk with you about it)

Cons

Work can get dull and repetitive depending on which clients you are working with and what assignments you get. If you are not active about improving, learning, or seeking new projects, you may end up stuck doing the same types of projects. Work may require travel to customers' project sites, which might take between a day or week. So if you like driving, this might not be a bad thing.

Pros

There were some really wonderful people whom I supported in Prop Ops and Corporate. They were very appreciative of our work and work ethic. The proposals were always interesting and I thought well run overall until recently. My direct manager was very flexible with work hours, remote work, etc. so I had no problem with weekend work or work that required a very fast turn. He let us do our jobs and supported us when necessary. Not too sure about the new manager as she just came onboard. Things are changing there.

Cons

The culture has changed over the 25+ years I had been there-less team oriented, less support for work, and definitely less recognition from upper management who had no clue what we all really did. There is a real disconnect. Hardly any monetary compensation for winning work from them...that kind of thing came from my direct manager who was forced into early retirement as were a number of people whom were very good at their jobs. The recent layoff was very random and had nothing to do with performance. I believe they used some kind of matrix that had to do with salary and age-for my laid off group it looked obvious but of course that is hard to prove...
