Pros

I worked with some wonderful people who were dedicated to their jobs & others on the team. I left after 4.5 years’ service and most of us started within a few weeks of each other.

Cons

Low pay Insufficient increases Many are not eligible for bonuses Management not management material - interested only in kissing their manager’s behind Very little validation for mid-level employees Expensive benefits & crappy PTO No concept of accountability except at lower levels Situational ethics Totally uninterested in why people leave Walked-in one day and knew I couldn’t do it anymore. 2 week’s later, I was gone.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
