Pros

Challenging environment. Awesome company to work for early in your career to use as leverage for the next company. If you are an engineer or PE you will be treated above all other degrees from the time you interview.

Cons

Very thick glass ceiling for women or non-PE or PG's. Huge boys club even when you are asked to be an exclusive 'direct owner'. The only people promoted past PM level are the men or very few women who are the elite in the companies KLF aquires. The upper management does not fire poor managers regardless of mass exodus of junior staff giving scathing exit interviews. They turn blind eyes to blatant discrimination. Oh and don't plan on having kids and choosing to work 40 hours because you will be discussed behind closed doors as not being a good employee regardless of the years of 60 hour weeks. Constant reorganization and $ being spent to do so could be used in much better ways, like salaries.

Pros

Freedom to get work done on own schedule for the most part. Give you a white ford company truck. ESOP Program.

Cons

Terrible management. Treats lower level employees like garbage. Horrible system that rewards people for staying with company rather than performance.

Pros

Decent pay. Healthcare is decent.

Cons

Everyone is unhappy. Management and higher staff complain about all the work they have, but have no efficient way of mentoring younger, entry level employees. Entry level employees are left to fend for themselves. You’re on your own either way. High turnover of employees as you would imagine. Emphasis on billable hours depends on which office you report to. Upper management operate in total silence, junior staff have no idea who is in charge and what is happening within the company. There are better consulting companies out there that treat their employees well, this isn’t one of them. Diversity and inclusion initiative is a joke. No company culture. PTO and sick time combined, and below standards Some very toxic project managers.
