Pros

The people are great, they know their stuff and are passionate about their career. Lots of opportunities for training, conferences, and inter-company networks for support. The location is right off I-25 and C-470 so it's easy to get to from all directions. Everyone sits in cubicles so everyone seems easily accessible. Lots of ways to know where people are and how to reach them if they are working from home. Café and gym on location. Safety is promoted as a strong value and there isn't pressure to work over 80 hours every 2 weeks. Work life balance is promoted as another strong value and burning or from overworking is discouraged.

Cons

Pressure to be 100% billable reduces opportunities for mentoring and other non-billable activities. Due to how many people work from home or other offices, it can be hard to get ahold of people in person. The re-org has disconnected a lot of networks and connections that were important for many reasons, including distributing workload and making sure those reviewing us were in the same office as us.

Pros

Many talented professionals and technical experts Great clients and interesting projects Collaborative environment Global accounting system enables resource sharing across borders

Cons

Limited career advancement opportunity in local office Bureaucratic decision making Bogged down by too many policies which were not scalable, very internally focused Recent reorganization focused on short-term financial improvements rather than long-term strategy or employees Lack of investment in developing markets Risk adverse to international work and potential that US-centric thinking will take the company back to being US only again Change fatigue from multiple reorganizations and malaise from political favoritism Core values not practiced
