Pros

Large world wide company that allows you to be exposed to different facets of the engineering industry IF you push yourself to be exposed. Somewhat flexible and vacation time is sufficient. You are able to purchase vacation if you want. Good medical benefits.

Cons

A huge company bureaucracy. Upper management bonus pools create a very political atmosphere given that you must also me vouched for consideration in the bonus pool. The company has no loyalties and will fire and hire without thinking about it. Pressure for billable hours is huge. There are only two numbers the company cares about, your employment number and the number of hours you bill. The real money making lower staff worker bees have ridiculous utilization goals.
