Business Outlook

Pros

i love the people I work with, very focused on career planning and growth, mentoring is important here, they work to be progressive and innovative, growing company, encourage interoffice collaboration so you work on projects around the world, the upper management genuinely cares about the company's future and the employees growth, safety is huge here which is nice

Cons

totally dysfunctional, we restructured 3 years ago and its been a constant chaos ever since, their San Diego headquarters is not held accountable for moving anything quickly or for following through with simple AR requests, a few months back they took away straight time over time, the benefits are awful, lame tuition reimbursement and medical care, no 401K, and the ESOP program hasn't paid out in 3 years, they wouldn't even pay for my PG. this year corporate was 6 months late on releasing our goals and so we had no idea what our utilization targets were half way through the year, just overall its frustrating to work here because the company is so inefficient, there's way too much paperwork, and redundant policies that no one follows.
