Pros

Large organisation with superb HR and employee investment. Great training and support from managers. Opportunities to grow your career in any direction. It is an amazing place to meet with world leading engineers in almost any discipline form aviation to zoology (maybe). The whole culture is focussed on being the best.

Cons

Too many business units, difficult to collaborate with other business units. Easy to step on other units accounts without realising there is an existing relationship. Often this relationship is working in an entirely different part of the customer's organisation with limited customer links from one part to the other.

Pros

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Cons

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
