Pros

Excellent company with design focus on transportation, water/wastewater, energy and architecture. Very good healthcare and benefits. Friendly atmosphere with a real emphasis on vitality and work/life balance. Excellent company functions (summer picnic and Christmas party) for family involvement.

Cons

Significant matrix structure with heavy middle- and upper-management involvement. Decision making requires significant consensus building and often takes longer than it should. Sometimes decisions appear bottlenecked in middle-management, with little staff visibility by upper management.
