Pros

Great benefits, good experience, great people. Various projects give different experience. Great team work in Chicago's office. Company has different events to help employees connect and socialize.

Cons

SInce there are multiple projects, some deadlines come close to each other. Different offices should communicate little better with each other.

This is great feedback, and we agree about the need to improve communication between offices. We are keeping a watchful eye and have made recent investments in communication tools. Skype, the new SharePoint Intranet site, and our video conferencing systems will make that easier. If you have other ideas, please let us know!

Pros

• Great opportunity to learn and grow professionally. • Worked on a wide variety of interesting projects. • Many knowledgeable and supportive coworkers. • Strong place to build technical and project management experience. • I was able to advance my career and take on increasing responsibilities over my 11 years.

Cons

• Communication between departments often felt siloed. • Leadership could be more transparent about company decisions and policy changes. • More mentorship and support for project managers would be beneficial. • In my experience, opportunities for advancement did not always feel based solely on performance, and personal relationships sometimes appeared to carry significant influence. • Remote employees would benefit from more consistent treatment and clearer expectations. • Management styles varied significantly between departments, which led to inconsistent employee experiences. • Administrative tasks often took priority over developing project management and leadership skills.
