Pros

The good management from URS wasn't completely lost.

Cons

Honestly the URS acquisition has been terrible. Local management was left in the dark about many things and you feel like just another number. Raises are very minimal because the appoval for a raise is crazy and the employee review system is bogus. You basically fall into 1 of 3 spots poor, good, & exceeds expectation as a result everyone is good. The overall feel from many of employees is that they want to leave. Its hard to find someone who doesn't want to leave. I think that is due to the overall company seeming like it is focus on money and not on being a place people want to actually work. The other problem is company is extremely top heavy. It almost seems like the company is 50% management.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
