Pros

Compared to many other firms in NY, the starting salary was high, and they give "merit" increases annually. Also, because they can't retain any mid-level staff, entry level get a lot of challenging work from the start.

Cons

Too many senior level people with no real room for growth and development of the younger staff. In a lot of ways it seems to be an office people come to make high salary before retiring. The senior level management are all rail engineers, so every other department gets slighted in project pursues. And they are horrific with promotions. You continue to develop yourself and your responsibilities and you get no merit for it. People wait 3-7 years for a promotion that is suppose to be every two. Part of this is they are currently obsessed with becoming the largest office in the firm, so they care about hiring more then development and growth.

Pros

Working in IT, there's been a lot of change recently, but I think it's going to be for the better. The groups are better organized, and management seems to be listening to what we have to say. There seems to be enough investment in who we have to hopefully stem the tides of what malcontent was going on.

Cons

In that same vein, a lot has been up in the air recently. Turnover seems to still be an issue with some people. Hopefully we're getting to a point where we identify those issues and go from there.
