Pros

Great staff with lots of diverse experience. Opportunities to link into projects around the world if you are good at networking and persistent. Could be an amazing company in which to work if management could embrace a more collaborative management system and dispense with some of the tedious bureaucracy.

Cons

Senior managers are engineers with little or no management training. Important management decisions are made haphazardly and poorly communicated. Egos are allowed to dominate important corporate decisions. Many senior managers are afraid to make important decisions and therefore do not make those decisions in a timely manner. Far too much bureaucracy - getting approval to attend a conference or get a plane ticket to visit a client can be a nightmare, resulting in many missed opportunities for the corporation. Good people are getting frustrated with the bureaucracy and poor management and leaving.

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)
