Pros

benefits are comprehensive, including health, dental, vision. Company vest 100% up to 4% for 401 (K).

Cons

working professionals being managed down to hourly employees. The bad mid-level management decisions got trickled down to production employees. (never your manager's fault, right?) The board members tried but barely engage what's going on at the production level (remember that they are at the 5000 ft elevation view point to drive the strategy) so they read financial reports and protect their assets, but not you. No teamwork environment whatsoever. Not the best place for new grads unless you know somebody!! There is a missing leg for corporate ladder for this place, and who took it? Good Old Boy Club!! I was told at some point - this place is not the average engineering consulting firm, it earned its nickname - DUNGEON. Living in California, but NOT compensated for cost of living - the pay scale goes by BOISE, ID EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE COUNTRY- so the nick name was "WORKING POOR" for the production workers. Nothing is free, and their product is YOU.

Pros

Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.

Cons

Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
