Pros

Diverse technical challenges for all disciplines driven by dire need for solutions for desperate clients who can't do it on their own. Owners are great people and have good intentions for everyone. Technical staff is for the most part ex HP'ers which makes for good culture environment. HR, IT, and all supporting staff are outstanding.

Cons

Middle management (especially directors) tend to base their decisions on who works on what project based on favoritism. If you are lucky, you are in the favored crowd. If you are not, might as well find yourself another place to work. You will be miserable. Scope and schedule on incoming projects are always way off in favor of hooking clients in for business. Everyone including the client suffer. Management is dishonest with clients and and sometimes staff. Too much rank and order. Not everyone is respected equally regardless of title.

Pros

Wonderful people to work with. Some have been there for more than a decade. Good for anyone who likes a challenging, never boring environment. The company is going through many changes even on a daily basis. Location working to be R&D center of excellence. Good for engineers. Flex time is a nice perk.

Cons

Private equity owned with many deliverables (Scott Dennis is no longer the CEO of the company). The pace is hectic and chaotic. You're lucky if you get anything done on your 'to do' list as priorities shift so quickly. The stress level is perpetually high and felt by most (if not all) employees. Longer hours are typical (45-55 per week) for salaried employees. More than 10 rounds of layoffs in the last couple of years due to cost cutting / restructuring. Morale is low.
