Pros

pay is decent because most experienced engineers know this is not a good place to work

Cons

very unstable company,no vision, no consistency, absolute worst experience in a 30 year career, if they are firing people, a lot of them get fed up and leave, clients don't trust their PMs will be there to finish project, many clients refuse to give the company a chance because they fire staff including PM and no one follows up with client, employee retention has to be lowest in industry, in three years 80% of the engineers were gone, company posts their own reviews on glassdoor and other sites so it appears that employees like working here, don't believe positive reviews, ask around in the industry, engineers at other consulting firms and clients in so Cal will tell you what they truly think which is more honest than a site where a company can submit 20 to 30 reviews claiming nirvana, this firm is very disingenuous, very dishonest, poor ethics, leadership team changed six times in three years.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
