Pros

Very well established engineering and construction firm with global operations and mature human capital development programs. If I was a civil engineer, this would have been a great place to stay and grow.

Cons

It's construction and engineering oriented culture does not align great with classified professional services work. For instance, the company did not provide coverage for all Federal Holidays even for salaried staff who were 100% client facing. You were expected to burn three days of your limited PTO to cover those uncovered holidays, reducing your PTO to essentially 13 days a year, which included sick time. Also, the PMs did not come from the classified professional services arena. My PMs were not cleared to visit me at the client site and see what I was actually doing.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
