Pros

Interesting and challenging projects. Advanced modeling.

Cons

Micro management on all levels. A project of two engineers is managed by five "project management leaders, project managers, task managers, and technical advisors". Minimal annual raise and lower than average salary. if the project goes bad, it is all on you. If it goes well, well, it was because of the excellent project management team. Join this company only if you are well established in your careers. Otherwise, be ready to get stuck. no sick days. very little 401k contribution only after the first year of employment. no tuition assistance.

Pros

There are no pros to write about.

Cons

Low pay, very long hours with no overtime payments, bad benefits, old-fashioned super abusive work environment, technically incompetent and yet micromanaging and rude managers. They use performance reviews as a tool to abuse the employees and force them to work for so many extra hours overtime without getting paid (in order to get a good performance review, you have to have worked for more than a certain number of extra hours and not get paid for them).  Performance review meetings are used to humiliate and attack the employees on personal levels. They have a very high turnover due to the unprofessional work environment. Also, they have a huge pay gap between managers and staff: minimum raise for staff every year, huge salary jumps for their technically poor managers every year; while the managers literally do nothing and all the work is done by staff only; their managers are even terrible at bringing in projects. Be ready for months-long gaps between projects when you should work on made-up fake projects with fake tight deadlines they come up with! Attention: -They have a bad reputation in the field and it can have a negative effect on your resume when you are looking for your next job. -Be very careful if you need visa sponsorship and they agree to sponsor your visa!!!
