Pros

Large multinational corporation with opportunities to find new contacts and friends. You have to be your own manager and promotor.

Cons

You have to be your own manager and promotor. No loyalty to you or your efforts. Pay is consistently far lower than other companies that offer environmental services. Projects are poorly planned, poorly staffed, and even more poorly managed. Turnover has been high and now has been replaced with qualified people just leaving. There is too much stress and too much posturing by a management system inflexible and unsupportive to a team already stressed out by too much work.

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)
