Pros

Designers and Engineers great to work with. Has good benefits including getting paid for every hour worked beyond 40 hours....but paid less for each hour worked less than 40 hours. People are usually always eager to help.

Cons

Management (not including department managers, no complaints there) disconnected with how projects are executed. Many of the decision made by management don't make sense at the engineering level. If you want to go into management, drink the cool-aid or you're out.

Pros

Good for starting and ending a career in engineering — solid training and plenty of software available. Good benefits and WLB.

Cons

Most projects are PreFEED, so lots of generic work, and they tend to overhire for these projects. It’s hard to make it to the middle ranks here because of the overhiring and layoff on contract loss cycle. The 980 schedule is actually meant to be a 10-hr day, as they began to emphasize the importance of taking lunch. TOWP and sick days are lumped together and earned on an accrued basis, so vacation days are valuable in the beginning. You can be paid your vacation days at the end, too, when your salary is higher… the consequence is that people come in sick all the time.
