Pros

Excellent workforce, interesting and meaningful work in almost every field that you can imagine. Relatively free movement between operating units if there is an opening.

Cons

Management is fickle. Personality-based rather than performance. A lot of pettiness at the upper levels of operating units.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
