Pros

Some good engineers at the senior staff level.

Cons

Only 6 holidays, 8 hours each per year. Very little paid time off , vacation time is combined with sick time and snow days, doctor visits etc. Workers work extra hours to take black Friday off, or any additional holiday weekends. Never a bonus. Billability is the only thing management is interested in. Management does not recognize technical talent. Corporate Motto "Beyond Zero" is to minimize law suits, not because they are a "culture of caring".
