Pros

Good opportunities. Company is growing. Most of the people here are good people and have a team mentality. There are very strong and talented people here, so you stand to learn from them if you end up working with them on a project. Most middle management seem to care about their people.

Cons

Groups are siloed due to acquisitions. Base salaries are below market rate and you are told that the bonus plan makes up for that gap. The bonus plan rewards those who work/bill long hours and travel. So if you want a personal or family life, you are penalized by qualifying for a smaller bonus. It is a service company so your career aspirations will not always be top priority if they conflict with project and client needs. Internal support is not that great. Expense reporting policies are extremely rigid and the corporate expense dept seems overworked. They end up making mistakes, losing your receipts and you end up being penalized for it. I've had $4000 expense reports withheld from my paycheck because they could not find a $10 parking receipt. Their internal processes are not setup to scale as the company grows.

Pros

Very little outside of some of the people you work with. FTO is only nice if you have a manager who lets you use it. They did allow work from home, not sure if that is still the case.

Cons

This company was run poorly by Tom Hogan before private equity bought it but the buyout accelerated their decline. If you want to be a cog in the machine, this is the place for you. The leadership is only focused on themselves. They will praise you or throw you under the bus depending on how they feel it makes them look to their bosses. The employees who don’t have a stable long term project live in fear of being let go irregardless of talent and many of their most talented are leaving because they see the writing on the wall.
