Pros

Depending on which group and individual you work for, there is a lot of flexibility when it comes to work hours. If you need to take care of your family or other personal business, you can work weekends or after hours to make up the time, on a limit basis and with the approval of your supervisor. Decent pay and benefits, company pride's themselves on being middle of road when it comes to compensation and benefits.

Cons

Since going "For Profit" status with the IRS, all management has been very critical of revenue performance. the focus has shifted from quality services to speed of services (to bill client's sooner than waiting for a quality product). Significant stress and threats of layoffs if segment or business unit does not succeed. Lots of bureaucracy and too many layers of management.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
