Pros

Good amount of workplace flexibility even though this is being reined in. Interesting work/projects. Good work life balance beyond certain peak times.

Cons

15 days PTO for staff quite low 401K has a three year vesting period so essentially no retirement contribution based on the average tenure. Meanwhile base salary raises have been negligible across two cycles, even amid strong businesses. Subtly introduced a change to the overtime policy through an IT system change. All overtime used to be paid at straight time, now only paid for billable hours beyond 40 hours. Low health insurance premiums but was told by Aetna that routine blood work wasn't covered over my first two years, until hearing the opposite in a virtual company townhall.

Pros

Flexible schedule (2-3 days/week working from home)

Cons

The size and matrixed structure can mean more layers of review, approvals, and standardized processes. This can slow down decisions and make it harder to move quickly or implement changes compared to smaller, more agile firms.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
