Pros

Not a lot of micro-managing. Good at Project Management activities for client only.

Cons

No mentorship. Left on your own to execute a vision. Old boys club-with most of the staff working there for over 10 years-set in their ways and not open to a new way of doing work. Not very technically strong. Hire and Fire mentality to keep old staff around. Huge turn around for new hires.

Pros

Excellent learning and mentoring from senior staff. A great stepping stone for engineering and geology professionals. Corporate leadership has great vision and adapts well to technology. Has great reputation in the industry with many long term client relationships.

Cons

While corporate leadership has great vision, it is often short sighted, If you are not a professional (engineer/geologist) there is little to no room for advancement regardless of education and experience. Personal growth is not encouraged and employee achievements are seldom recognized. Local office leadership is very limited and constrained by corporate. Compensation is stagnant and is below industry averages. Company culture is top heavy and not employee-centric.
