Pros

They pay you as per the market rate, other then that no real motivation to work for them

No Management vision, the company is wasting hundred of millions of dollar to implement an ERP system, which will never happen so they are cutting cost everywhere..

Pros

Depending on your job you get to travel however mostly will be to war zones

Cons

Management is a joke. It is the "good old boy network" at its best!!! The unskilled and untrained seemed to get recognized and promoted. Promotions, pay increases, and internal pay equity is very subjective and depends on how good you are with your manager. Run the other way!!!

Directionless company and management but some excellent people and a good working atmosphere

Technical professional - civil project management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

supportive, gives respect to employees, sometimes dynamic, good place to work, variety of work and good attitude to developing experience

Cons

Very American although the UK fights against this, ultimately it loses. Very slow to grasp opportunity and capture fast moving business, very slow turnover of senior management who spend most of their time managing their managers.
