Pros

Many opportunites from coast to coast. One needs to be location flexible. You will be asked to relocate a lot.

Cons

The company's large size makes it impersonal to the individual's needs. Field project teams are isolated. Corporate management is disconnected from the individual's personal and professional issues. i.e. - one had better like and be liked by your field team or you will be in for a long job.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
