Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects; I learned a lot, much of it through trial and error.

Cons

Exrtremely high employee turnover. Every project manager was on their own to learn their responsibilities, with very minimal training. Professional employees were all treated like children with much criticism and very little positive reinforcement from management staff. No opportunity for advancement within program; most management transferred in from other locations.

Pros

The NYC Office is a great place for a young engineer anyway from 0 to 5 years of experience. You will work on some really great projects. Lots of diversity in projects not matched by most other firms. The ability to take on more responsibility is there as long as you show competence and reliability. -Flex summer hours -Laid back work environment -Lots of company paid for events like beer Friday, boat cruise etc. -Lots of overtime work if you want it. -Reimbursement for licensing applications and books. -Decent health care

Cons

-Terrible Salaries (expect to be 20% below market value) -Terrible raises (expect to get about a %2 raise ever year if you're lucky) - Like others have said if you are below an "associate" title you are meaningless. Basically just a number and the upper management will most likely never interact with you. -Complaining to management about workload and man-power on projects is useless. Its basically a "your problem figure it out attitude" Expect to work lots of OT on some projects. -Promotions are only given if you threaten to leave or the thought of you leaving is there. -Way too top heavy with managers who do 0 production work not enough production staff. -terrible matching of 401k plan (less than 1%) -No real career path. Expect to be stuck in the same position for years unless you say something (or threaten to leave the company perhaps).
