Pros

Great co-workers, freindly place to work.

Cons

Work / Life balance is challenging when on the road full time (time off vs. hours per week put in is not equal). Subsistance package on the road is average or below average to what other companies are paying whom ask employees to travel full time on the road. No OT pay when working over 40, 50, 60, 70, or even 80 hours a WEEK.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
