Pros

Some really great people work there, they have a nice staff canteen, the hours arent too long if you are clever about what work you do.

Cons

Poor pay - EC Harris pays well below the competition. I managed to get a 40% pay rise by leaving, only when I handed in my notice did they make me an offer commensurate with market rates. Poor Progression - Even when I had agreed to take on more responsibility and secured a promotion they didnt want to provide a pay rise! Poor training - As any surveyor will know, the APC and training is of major importance, I was promised the world! Actually, I was given very little support. Once I had raised some issues around my job, they provided even less training on the grounds of "you will just get chartered and leave". I was then informed that they dont like to train people for their apc if they havent been there at least 18 months, overall pretty poor! Poor management - well the list above kind of says it all!

Pros

The people and the work we do.

Cons

None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
