Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Great PTO, but made to feel bad if you use it. Its a fun and exciting career as long as you are part of the cool crowd; otherwise you will be driven away or set up to fail.

Cons

There is not much room for advancement if you are part of the support staff. Now, if you tell lies, stab people in the back to get ahead and suck up to the ROM, you will definitely go places. For new consultants coming in, the mentoring in the FL office is non existent. Broken promises are made daily. This place used to be an amazing company where you felt like family but the more they grow and the more money they make the more they take from the employees. The favoritism is very apparent. Micromanaging is the only management style they know. There is constant bulling and inconsistent policies. There is a new policy at any given time when it benefits them. If you ever make a complaint about people, you will be the one to get fired. There are people here who have had over 10 complaints about them yet they still work there and the people who made the complaint were either fired or driven to quit.

Quality and Reputation of Firm is Declining

Pros

Very intelligent consultants can still be found. Some are hit and miss, but they have some very bright ones to work with. Regarded (in the past) as a high quality consulting firm.

Cons

Management often changes views on topics. Every year that goes by, the company management gets worse. Micromanaging to the extreme. They do not believe in supporting employees or retaining them for long term growth. Company is ran by inexperienced individuals who have no formal management or business training. An engineer does not make a good CEO or regional manager. COO had no prior experience before starting at the company straight out of law school. Most higher level individuals hired based on playing Rugby with the CEO. Company is growing very fast and is losing out on quality and reputation that was built from founders. Focus is on quantity of engineers and they are losing credibility of being a premier consulting firm. Quality of work product has drastically declined in recent years. Some consultants are not as truthful with their testimony and will say things that benefit the client that are not scientifically true. Offices outside of Illinois are in bad parts of towns and embarrassing to bring clients to. Significant amount of high ranking engineers are leaving or retiring, thus reducing mentors and learning opportunities.
