Pros

Large scale company able to capture largest most interesting projects. Many good people work here. Company is very active supporting charities in the community.

Cons

The company's executive leadership is far too influenced by flavor-of-the-month management consulting concepts. Extreme emphasis on top-down command and control to drive "excellence" with little real understanding of how to execute. Leadership is not focused on taking care of employees or clients, and has no vision past the next quarter. C-level execs spend princely sums on parties and conferences while cutting pay and benefits. Group-think and go along to get along is the culture here and is rewarded.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
