Pros

Full benefits for part-time employees Stock options Smart, hard-working co-workers Environmentally conscious firm, down to offices and internal practices My office was social and friendly Flexible work hours

Cons

You are literally a number, especially with the buy-out of URS, which puts the company at 90,000 employees. My supervisor was awesome, but she had no control over whether I was laid off or got my hours reduced. You get a constant stream of emails about new VPs who were hired who have nothing to do with you and who you will never meet. Every little IT, HR, accounting, or project-related action requires a ream of paperwork and signatures that totally eats up your time, and of course you can't charge anything to overhead. The company only looks at your billable hours when making personnel decisions, with no input from local leadership or supervisors.

Pros

None (maybe the free snacks and drinks)

Cons

Unbelievable bad, ZERO work/life balance at corporate, 60-80hr weeks no exaggeration , no one smiles or talks to you, i see people getting yelled at by their mgmt constantly, bunch of bully executives, unless you get a VP title stay away. Really disappointed as i was joining for a long term commitment, but left after less than a year. people here are absolutely ruthless, this is not an understatement, processes and procedures are so backwards for company this size. No one will listen to your opinion and want to improve or change things. You will be treated like a slave and be verbally abused. Stay Away. zero diversity After working at several fortune 500 companies this place is pathetic.
