Pros

Opportunity to work on interesting projects Intellectual challenge; variety in my work Supportive immediate supervisors Local office that focuses on sustainability

Cons

Company acquires other firms faster than it can integrate the processes of the existing ones Friendlier cultures of legacy companies (at least mine) have been destroyed Too much paper pushing required at the expense of getting the actual project work done Constant deadlines that have become so tight that either quality or work-life balance (sometimes both) must be sacrificed

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)
