Pros

Big firm with good benefits and competitive salary. a lot of resources for all sorts of certifications and support with study material and reimbursement for licensing process.

Cons

the experience varies greatly between each regional office. The Chicago office is understaffed and tends to overload their workers. change in management greatly affected office culture. limited opportunities for project experience outside of the healthcare, justice and science+tech markets in architecture.
