Pros

- Some peers were cool, team players, always willing to help and enjoy a laugh. - Convenient location - Interesting projects

Cons

- Too much unnecessary political, corporate drama - Mixed messages sent regarding company's values - Poor communication from senior management - Manager's priorities misplaced - Not run like a typical A/E firm, more like an accounting firm or law office - Bureaucratic nightmare - Employees not given tools to make job easier, save time, and money, even when pressuring management - No straight answers given to direct questions regarding office policies, points of contact, etc. - Too many "chefs in the kitchen" - Horribly design office and layout,drab decor, lots of wasted space, and poorly organized - Exorbitant amount of paperwork and unnecessary internal emails

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)
