Pros

Big name company, International presence

Cons

I agree with the other commentor that there needs to be better standards for the degrees and qualifications of top management.. Some business experience would help too. This company makes you feel like you are selling widgets instead of high level professional services.

Pros

Some good engineers at the senior staff level.

Cons

Only 6 holidays, 8 hours each per year. Very little paid time off , vacation time is combined with sick time and snow days, doctor visits etc. Workers work extra hours to take black Friday off, or any additional holiday weekends. Never a bonus. Billability is the only thing management is interested in. Management does not recognize technical talent. Corporate Motto "Beyond Zero" is to minimize law suits, not because they are a "culture of caring".
