Pros

International company with openings around the world.

Cons

There is so much back stabbing, rumor and general undermining of employees by other employees it makes for an extremely stressful atmosphere. Company manager does little to nothing to stop this behavior from continuing and instead allows certain employees to remain without writing them up. When asked about why he doesn't stop this malicious behavior, his response was "Managing employees is a difficult thing to do." On my very first day on the job one of these toxic employees told an outright lie about me. When my department manager called her into her office to ask why she would say what she did, the employee had no answer except to say that's what she "heard." Stupid, ugly, and envious behavior of this type remains the rule of the day with no consequences. I enjoyed my work but the office atmosphere was poisonous.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
