Pros

Collueages were fun to work with. Internatinal exposure and chances to travel. Good reputation, scientifically ethical. Oportunity to grow at junior levels.

Cons

Glass ceiling once you reach mid-level. Very competative for managment postions. Can be cut throat. Stressful. Hours typicaly 45-50 hours. No overtime. They will push you hard for chargable hours, and you project management accounting must be spottless. Lots of Yes-Men. Out of the box thinking discouraged. New policy appears staff manipulation by fear rather than reward.

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)
