Business Outlook

Pros

There are still some very dedicated and intelligent professionals that want to serve clients well and mentor staff, but the pool of technical resources is getting smaller all the time. The personal time off and salaries are on par with the rest of the industry. The salary used to be better, but the bonus program was slashed, so it is starting to fall behind the rest of the industry.

Cons

The constant departure of people has created a serious "brain drain" for the company. The constant worry about chargeable ratios has created a situation where the top talent leaves for the competition. Those who have left have succeeded creating incentive for others to leave as well. The morale and prospects from the firm are grim.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large world wide company that allows you to be exposed to different facets of the engineering industry IF you push yourself to be exposed. Somewhat flexible and vacation time is sufficient. You are able to purchase vacation if you want. Good medical benefits.

Cons

A huge company bureaucracy. Upper management bonus pools create a very political atmosphere given that you must also me vouched for consideration in the bonus pool. The company has no loyalties and will fire and hire without thinking about it. Pressure for billable hours is huge. There are only two numbers the company cares about, your employment number and the number of hours you bill. The real money making lower staff worker bees have ridiculous utilization goals.
