Pros

Great opportunity to work on a variety of projects in different areas of the country. Great bench strength in some areas of expertise; if you need an expert on a certain subject, they have one somewhere. Great benefits package compared to some other places I have worked.

Cons

Much corporate "heavy handedness" - edicts are handed down without much forethought. Not a nimble organization - cannot respond quickly. You will need permission to do most anything, and probably from at least 3 different people. Even the adminstrative assistants can stop engineering work! Very poor leadership at the division level. We only see or hear from them when they've decided to lay off staff. They have never actuallly showed up to contribute anything useful that I can see. Rather disorganized. Good luck in getting any direction from upper management. You're pretty much "on your own" until someone decides they didn't like what you did.

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

Great technical staff across the firm.

Cons

Too corporate. Too many red-tape programs. Too much focus on utilization as THE key metric. Poor pay for mid-level professionals. Senior Leadership has lost their grasp on reality and devalued the employees. Middle managers have been dis-empowered.
