Pros

The company started off great and I definitely had the rose colored glasses on and was trying to work my way up the ladder. I got to work on really great projects over the years and work with some really smart people.

Cons

The partnership is not a true partnership so you don't have a say in how the business is being run or where your money is being spent. So what is the advantage of becoming partner....nothing. A lot of changes occurred over the past few years and not the best of decisions made by the leadership of the company. They were more about numbers and less about the people....and the people are what sell the work and do the work, so you should listen to them.

Pros

The company has good reputation in the industry. There are some sharp professionals to work with.

Cons

Working environment could be very detrimental caused by historical tensions between divisions and internal politics. Individuals wellbeing often is run over by those negatives. The latest industry-wide new concepts and technologies are not being adopted by certain teams due to the lack of communications with the peers in the industry and close mindedness of the leaders of the group. Too much overhead causes project budget high to lose competitiveness. Turn over when things are bad can be very cruel.

Pros

Due to budget cuts, my position was eliminated by the corporate office of my former employer, a company for which I consistently worked 60 to 70 hours per week, more often than not. Through the very kind recommendations of my previous division VP, I was recommended to GS&P, which happened to have an immediate need for my skills and experience. Less than a month later, I was on board via an extremely smooth, expedited, and supportive process. Everyone in HR, along with my new director, knew my situation and was committed to getting me to work as quickly as possible. My second week of work, I was hit with the flu - naturally I was concerned about missing work with a new employer. Yet, I was assured by my department director that everything would be ok -- they just wanted me well. I was allowed to work from home so that I could recover more quickly, and to prevent spreading the virus at work. As a result, I was able to continue my learning process and make up lost time. I love that the company is extremely mobile, which allows employees to stay connected even when they're away from the office. My co-workers could not be more friendly or helpful and supportive. And for the first time in over four years, I feel like I actually have a balanced life. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of this company.

Cons

Parking downtown is extremely limited, so employees are shuttled in from a nearby parking lot. Even so, it's a quick and easy ride with very friendly and prompt drivers.
