Pros

Small smattering of smart and kind staff in the pipeline, tunnel and transport group who unfortunately carry the rest of the ‘severely lacking’ on their shoulders.

Cons

Incredulously archaic systems and procedures in place The ‘head office’ in the US is chalk full of negative scheming energy, and uninspiring, narcissistic henchmen who have no idea about growth or progression. New ideas and innovation are discouraged ‘Mafia’ type mentality Ridiculous politics and hierarchy

Early career experiences can really shape how people view the industry, so it is great to see you found the projects interesting during your internship. We also appreciate your honest feedback about quieter periods. Finding the right balance between giving interns meaningful work and managing project demands can be a challenge at times, and it is something we continue to work on to make sure placements feel engaging and valuable throughout. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contribution you made during your internship in Boston.
