Pros

good pay good professional resources/colleagues good re-investment of profits into growing the company good ethics

Cons

most projects are the same - interest/challenge tends to drop as time goes on not a drawing production house company farms too much professional consulting out - i.e. this position is a paper pusher too many mouse clicks to do the most simple things within the company People with HVAC design background moving into the energy side will feel that is a step down although those individuals are the perfect fit to do the energy side properly.
