Pros

Nice people, good benefits, challenging work, employee ownership, ESOT, flexible hours, paid overtime for project work. There wasn't a day that I didn't want to go to work.

Cons

Very centered on midwest. Needs a clear vision for company growth. Not an ambitious firm. Leans towards doing business the same way they've been doing it in the past.

Pros

Good people to work with, paid salary plus overtime for project work, professional development and training provided, wellness program, employee stock ownership

Cons

Required to work 7 days a week for several months in a row, daylight to sunset, was exhausting. Was not provided a computer to complete on-site project work in a timely manner. Several of my team were laid off after multiple large projects were completed, without regard to the quality of our work.

Pros

Close to home. The pay was good for Illinois. The satellite office I worked in had great people in it.

Cons

They fired me a few days before Christmas without warning. The management was afraid to look for work outside their comfort zone. They blamed me for not being able to secure more work for them, not my job. When I suggested they work at pharmaceutical companies, they were worried I would make them look like they were only administrators with a limited knowledge of engineering. They had project managers who's only job was to get on the phone and brow beat the employees for billing too many hours here or there. Management of projects was burdened by a top heavy management that billed on every project leaving only barely enough money to complete the actual work. Vice presidents came out of the woodwork to bill hours on a project that barely had enough margin to begin with. Every hour on your timesheet will be scrutinized very, very, closely. Springfield is not an appealing place to live. It looks run down like a town in a east-bloc socialist country.
