Pros

Good Engineering. People work hard out of pride of performance. Salaries are as good as anyone's in town for similar work. Flexible hours.

Cons

Management has no understanding of project-management-process (PMP) or proper execution of a job. Clients are consistently dissatisfied when the cost is considerably higher and schedule is considerably longer than what was bid. No change control whatsoever. Management consistently underbids work, then blames engineers for non-performance at the end of the job. Makes for distrust and bad team dynamics.
