Pros

Flexible hours during the weekday. Opportunity for travel internationally. Benefits are comparable. Many bright people work there (excluding the management!)

Cons

The scamming, corporate corruption and pay disparity are sick. Managers fighting managers, the results don't matter, only ego and money. None of the upper management is interested in the best results for the company, only justifying their ridiculous paychecks, while they screw the rest of the working engineers. Unrealistic deadlines for projects that ALWAYS end up being extended or cancelled. Upper management is full of regurgitated BS that they spew for convenience., Everyone is defensive and insecure of their jobs. Little cohesiveness between any team in the company, much less any of the operating companies. They'll make you work weekends and overtime with no extra pay, for projects that will only get cancelled because of upper-management politics. Contractors are so rampid there, you don't know who even actually works there! Conflict of interest and collusion between upper management and contract companies are commonplace.

Pros

Good benefits. Staff is great. If you want to be told what to do, this is the place. If you don't want to be held accountable, this is the place.

Cons

Directors are really micro-managers. Most managers are just managers. Leadership above the director level appears to understand leadership. Director level doesn't understand what leadership is. The entire company appears to like management by fear. No one is held accountable. Big bark, no stick.
