Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation, lots of work share, many options to move up

Cons

Corporate bureaucracies, which of course will happen in a firm this large. My biggest issue was that the company will only go after big projects, so if your field or location is based on smaller projects you will become only support to other groups. I felt cornered.
