Pros

Not sure I can find any.

Cons

This company keeps bleeding talents. Can't sustain this rate of talent loss. Need to change attitude to hope it will succeed.

Pros

- The work product that the firm was originally built on is some of the best in the industry, but that legacy is fading as so many key staff leave the company

Cons

- Low employee morale - Inept senior management that is completely out of touch with the staff doing the engineering work. - The growth strategy is to buy firms, do a poor job integrating the new acquisitions into a poorly thought out, rigid accounting-driven business approach that engineers hate, and then move on to new acquisitions while bleeding talent from the demoralized workforce. - Senior management focuses on new "orders" at the expense of virtually everything else. It is clear that orders and utilization drive everything, and how the work is delivered is secondary - Instead of addressing employee concerns, the messaging from senior management is empty rhetoric that is often at odds with their actions. - For an industry where knowledge and experience mean absolutely everything it is amazing how much talent and experience the company has squandered

Pros

Technical staff were collaborative. The ideals of the company are great and it had a great potential to become a dominant player on the world market

Cons

Very poorly managed with too many "chiefs". The executive leadership creates "make work" initiatives that do not benefit the long term sustainability of the company and they are not well thought out. The company is involved with a wide variety of services and wants to be involved in all areas, but leadership lacks the understanding of how different business lines differ from their own experience and background. To make matters worse, they do not listen when given that advice.
