Pros

Office located in a nice part of town near shopping centers, with good public transport infrastructure. Near express way access ramps & exits reduces commute times.

Cons

Local management doesn't have a clue on how to manage the business, retain personnel or gain new business. Work atmosphere is toxic with most of the staff just waiting for their severance package.

Pros

Excellent company with a lot of room for development; specifically the Graduate Development Program goes a long way to a to getting an engineer ready for their professional review.

Cons

A lot of behind the desk work which sometimes make it very hard to concentrate. Perhaps some scheduled 10 minute activities at different times in the day will significantly impact workplace morale.
