Pros

Different divisions of the company are managed differently. In my division - strong focus on technical excellence, customer satisfaction, and employee empowerment. Interesting diversity of work assignments.

Cons

Company had gotten pretty big by the time I left, and felt more and more corporate & hierarchical - traits that were not there when I joined the company when it was much smaller. Heavy emphasis on billability, lots of administrative and business development activities expected on the side, while still doing billable client work during the normal workday.

Pros

Hired as a "fire-hire," the position is disaster based and 100% travel so you get to travel domestically paid for by the company. When working, pay is good, you can make a lot very quickly with overtime. Being part-time, I can take time-off whenever I want for as long as I want.

Cons

For my position, no natural disasters = no work. Living out of a hotel for months SUCKs and burn-out is real as you could be working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for months on end. There's no added compensation for taking on an on-site lead position even though the workload triples. As a part-time employee, you have to pay more for benefits when working versus not working. There's a huge disconnect between part-time employees in the field and the full-time employees that do office work and upper management. Part-time workers are not prioritized unless they're willing to do whatever is thrown at them without complaints. The employee turn-over rate in the field is crazy.
