Pros

-Will pay you to sit around and do nothing "literary". One might think that's kool...no it's actually quite cruel especially when manager's tell you they planned for it. If that happens to you.."leave" because eventually they'll fire you. -Pay is market average,(so so) -comfortable offices. -good energy from staff.

Cons

-Way to top heavy, seems there is a Project Manager or V.P of just about every niche...ridiculous. -The company is weak technically as most staff is young and inexperienced. -There is a gap of senior technical people. -managers have very little integrity more interested in picking away at anyone who challenges them. If you are interested in working there stay in the the shadows and collect a check do not try to offer your experience or experience as there are senior managers who do not like to be challenged. -be aware this company is employee owned with private company stocks. In this company it means the dividends are more important than staff. -The company has a wall of fame which in truth has no value except to prop up the younger employees with faux recognition, its an old method to draw loyalty from younger staff members. -the company is not diversified enough as they pursue facilities/industrial architecture with an segregated health care department which is territorial. This means the company is subject to cyclical upset and downs, (zero job security). -you will not participate in any design charettes because designs are minimalist and territorial. -you will be an automaton in a cubicle. -The company processes to cover the employees and the younger ones they do but if you are senior this is NOT a company that can offer you any more than a temporary paycheck.
