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

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)
