Pros

Large World wide company, that has many offices throughout the country. Many opportunities to do exciting and engaging work. Large bonding capability so any kind of work is feasible. Friendly atmosphere, most of the employees know each other and are friendly. Executives actually take time to know the people working.

Cons

Company hierarchy is hard to move up in, beyond a PM. Bonus program sucks. Jobs that are exciting and engaging are usually bogged down by the office heads. Offices do not work together well. Offices compete against one and other instead of working together to land the large contracts available.
