Pros

The company appears well on Linkedin, tradeshows, during interviews and on its own website. It has interesting projects with a number of clients.

Cons

If you have a project manager that understands technical tasks in an engineering company - you are in a good place. If you don't - it is a difficult working environment as the higher management will support the PM. Often technical leadership/knowledge is missing from your manager for whatever reason and you need to self educate, even when the time scales are tight. It appears that the main focus on this kind of consultancy type business is to get the punctuation and spelling right, however, repeatedly missing out on delivering technically correct content which frustrates the client. Quick on criticizing your work without checking with you first. Overall - not a bad place for young engineers to start their career if you take criticism okay, but rather frustrating for experienced engineers.
