      Pros

      Smart colleagues. Strong reputation with Federal clients. Core businesses have work focused on positive environmental and social outcomes.

      Cons

      Senior leadership is focused on acquisitions, not existing business lines. Constant focus on profitability goes beyond standard pressures to maintain high utilization. This makes it difficult for firm to invest in new directions and innovate. Only large and high profit margin work drives company. Preference is to commoditize services and not delivery outstanding results.

      Dear former employee, Thank you for the candid feedback. Our senior leaders are focused on both organic growth and acquisitions. Our last significant acquisition was in late 2014. In the last year and a half, we have been laser focused on organic growth.
