Pros

-The ability to telework

Cons

-Putting the wrong in leadership positions -No training or pipelines in place to promote growth & advancement -Top heavy leadership structure that is out of touch -HR Department seems to be only interested in preventing potential lawsuits and not caring for their employees -Office structure is undefined and allows for inappropriate relationships, retaliation and favoritism -Corporate policies are only enforced on a select amount of employees -Leadership is not held accountable for their actions and are held on a pedestal and treated like they can do no wrong -Complaints to HR are ignored and brushed under the rug. -People are promoted into leadership positions despite several HR complaints made against them by several employees -It seems that if you have integrity and ethics, you have to check those at the door

Lots of growth with little direction

Pros

Working with some of the latest DoD system development, FTI cross cuts across the industry supporting a wide range of technologies and platforms.

Cons

The potential for valuable work is hamstrung by a top-heavy company with leadership providing little vision. An out-of-touch CEO advised by a lack of diversity has led to increased turnover due to stagnated processes that date back to the 90's.

Pros

FTI is growing more than I have ever experienced in my career. There are so many new opportunities and opportunities for growth that it is amazing. The Business Development and Operations leaders are amazing not only people, but bringing in business. The corporate staff that supports operations is amazing and works extremely hard to make sure that the proposals, RFP, RFQs and business get the attention they need. A great culture that really does a great job of supporting many local charities within the many locales where they are located. Overall simply a great place to work!

Cons

The PTO policy needs some attention and revamping
