Pros

Some very talented people working diligently to execute projects on time / budget. Strong safety culture across the spectrum of projects and people

Cons

Old boy network permeates at all levels. Back stabbing and internal bickering between offices contribute to a disproportionate amount of "politics" Renegade PM's intent on running their own mini company within the framework of the organization Completely bottom line driven makes a joke of their "core values" especially "employees are our greatest asset " .. Really??

Pros

Competitive Salary. The raises will be good in good economy but at slight hint of bad economy you will be fired. They keep no overhead at all.

Cons

No clear career path. No organizational structure.
