Pros

Great people, good projects, opportunities at major cities. There is a great office culture at some office locations. Compensation package is comparable to other mid-to large AE firms.

Cons

This company is expanding their operations thru un-controlled acquisitions. The integration process is a nightmare. A lot of unnecessary corporate procedures, training and forms need to be filled.

Pros

Mostly nice people in the office; day hours with weekends off. Paid holiday week between Christmas and New Year.

Cons

Manager is an egotistical tyrant. If you're not one of his few favorites, you're done. Huge disparity in yearly income.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large Company, lots of Resources. There were good people here. Participated in employee stock and investments as well has had a fair market benefits package.

Cons

Management did not provide support to senior employees, tended to stick to established friends and co-workers, which does not allow the departments to grow and change to become better. Heavy reliance on old technology and an inability to change or adapt. Many better employees, and lots of outside employees have hard feelings towards to the company which has lead to tensions already being established at the onset of new projects.
