Pros

casual dress code. ( shorts and t shirts)

Cons

1) very bad place to work : Upper management is really bad at the houston office. Power tripping, name calling is very common. 2) Micro managed: Management goes looking in people's cube to see if they are working or not. Trust issues. 3) very low pay ( less than national/houston) average, long working hours. 4) Upper management is filled with people with no formal education in business or experience in business. ( you can be a great engineer, but that does not make you a great manager) 5) No long term vision for company to grow; they higher new engineers every year and pay them less. These new hires work their for 3 years get experience and leave. the cycle then continues... this results in no strong work base. 6) work culture is really bad, you are expected to know everything about everything...if not, you will be called into conference room ( just wasting your and the office's time)

Pros

Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.

Cons

Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
