Pros

The reviews on here are a mixed bag, so I’m gonna say your experience is definitely tied to how great your department is and how efficient your manager is - so this review is purely through MY experience. Starting with pros, you definitely get to work and collaborate with a great number of people, even outside your team. If you’re just starting your career, it can potentially expose you to a variety of very interesting projects that will be good for you and your portfolio. Benefits are expensive, but I guess better than most firms The admins are wonderful people (San Diego)

Cons

Manager loved to micromanage, her position might as well be a Micromanager - made tasks harder than it shouldve been, does not communicate well, overall just awful performance for someone thats supposed to be leader. Upper management does not care no matter how many times they say they do. They only see you as a number, and it’s been made evident in so many in person meetings. Downtown san diego does not have a parking structure for employees - to pay an extra $150 for parking every month is just ridiculous

Pros

Good working conditions, benefits, very safety/health conscious.

Cons

Terrible personal relationships, very impersonal. I was with a firm they acquired and there was no on-boarding, no direction, reorganization left personal in limbo not knowing what their position or role was in the organization. Most of my colleaques either quit or were let go. Fortunately I had the option of retiring.

Pros

Good co-workers, flexibility to work from home during pandemic

Cons

Over-abundance of managers and sr. level management. Corporate cares only about their profit margin and nothing about employees (Laid off almost 30% of the admin staff because of not being billable enough. Shortly before, as many had to go part-time past the 90 day initial term to save money, they reinstated executives pay to normal from their temporary pay cut). After the layoff, in the middle of a pandemic, they bought another company. They do not value loyalty and hard work - only how much they can bill you out. Highly mismanaged and poorly run company - from the top down.
