Pros

New global manager has started to make his (positive) mark on the culture of the organization and this is permeating through the rest of the business. Wide variety of projects attracts a great bunch of talented individuals Despite some recent issues with staff turnover, there are several employees from all levels who have been here for 5 years +, many of whom have come up through the ranks Opportunities for exposure to international projects

Cons

No major cons - staff retention issues are being addressed and the "vibe" is definitely a lot more positive than it was even just a year ago.

Pros

- Benefits: PTO is 18 days/yr starting + holidays, bereavement leave, etc. Three health plan options. - The principles and senior management team are good people. - The Restructure in 2010 created more paths to "move up" - Social Responsibility - giving to Charities - Good camaraderie with your office/peers - They provide the tools to work with people all over the country - Good connections available across the country in your discipline - good raises, including your first professional license

Cons

- Development of the staff is not a priority company-wide. - Project managers have too many roles. - You drive your own career. You have to find your own work, even as a junior level employee - Not very many people have the "one-company" mentality. The culture is: First you cover your own ass, then your friends, then your office, then maybe help the others throughout the company. - Low Morale - It is very difficult to change your position if you are not satisfied. Your best chance is to relocate to another office or switch companies. - Very slow to replace employees - Don't count on your ESOP for retirement

Pros

Some flexibility in roles and for technical staff there are many avenues to enhance career.

Cons

THis firm focuses on advancement and the career pathing of technical staff. If you are not technical then you have to really work hard at advancement.
