Pros

People seem genuinely committed to a common success. Mostly supportive, friendly at least outwardly. A general willingness to share teach others what they know. I don't see a lot of "I'm in it for me".

Cons

Seems that the best choices have not been made for movement of key leaders into management positions, leading to low morale and apathy in the office. Not a direct correlation between demonstrated performance and opportunities presented (or denied).

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
