Plenty of on-line training. Work schedule is usually flexible. Tuition assistance available. Laid-back office environment. Company is well respected by most clients. Benefits are relatively good.
Minpunten
Reward and recognition is virtually non-existent, except for maybe project managers. If your not in the right clique at the office, you'll be the first on the chopping block, regardless of how good of a worker you are. Engineers are treated as disposable labor and if there isn't enough billable work available, their hours are cut until they are laid-off. Human resources is done through the company website and it's very frustrating to get employee issues reolved. Your often asked to relocate to remote areas if you want to stay employed with the company. Junior employees have little opportunity for advancement and mentoring is very poor. Their project delivery model is very top-heavy with too many project managers, accountants and administrative assistants. Engineers and designers don't rate very high in the project delivery process. The engineering and design work for large, high profile projects is outsourced to countries where the pay rate is cheaper.
