Pros

- Good salary and compensation package. - Overall good working environment.

Cons

- Project Management profession is a dead end career move within SE!. - Sales & Commercial bias organization, no project / program / portfolio organization structure what so ever. - Upper management core skill set comes from Sales & Commercial backgrounds only. - Promotion & Career development comes from close relationship with decision makers and the changes on the political winds, not from experience or performance. The RH development plan is a joke! - There are not tools nor processes to support PM execution. Tools goes as far as the microsoft office suite, a sheet of paper and a pencil, the AS400 Mainframe architecture used to function when SE was a transactional business dated way back to the late 1980s is still in place and sucks!

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
