Pros

The company has a global presence and a works on a broad range of advanced technical projects of all sizes. Has a vast pool of extremely technical employees with a historically powerful work ethic.

Cons

Many competing companies were acquired, thrown into a blender, had their history wiped cleaned, and had a generic company logo thrown over their eyes. There have been design standardization growing pains, a struggle amongst technical experts to advance, and a lack of forming centralized design groups to foster technical advancement. Upper level management and leadership positions seem to change on almost a monthly basis and its often hard to say who's at the wheel. Accounting responsibilities have continuously been shifted more and more to the technical employees who are supposed to be working for clients.

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)
