Pros

There are still a few good people at C2AE. People who are good at what they do and care. They do have a generous Paid Time Off package.

Cons

Benefits are mediocre. Client satisfaction is sacrificed to profit and many projects are poorly managed due to incompetent ego driven project managers. If you're not upper management and aren't lucky enough to work for a select few people...good luck. The Management to production ratio is so out of kilter...if it were a boat it would capsize and sink. Upper management has no clue what they're doing and reorganize the company every few years but all they do is move names on an organization chart. Good old boys rule and the best way to get a promotion is to work somewhere else and get hired by C2ae. Currently being run by a "leadership team" of 3 people. Very poor direction for the company.

Pros

The benefits were pretty good for engineering field. Not the best, but mid range. There were a lot of variety of project types. Nice location in downtown Lansing.

Cons

Never any bonuses. Different departments had extremely different experiences. Without a good manager, it was a poor experience. Lots of overhead costs. Lots of managers, and managers of managers, and HR, and secretaries, etc... It drove the total fee for a project up too high, and it was hard to remain competitive in the design fees.
