Pros

There used to be many pros unfortunately now I am hard pressed to find one pro.

Cons

Previous CEO was trying to change the company onto an oil and gas company and had no regard for the engineering side. Many disgruntled employees, the sense of work as a team is completely gone and no one even talks to each other anymore. The change in Sr mgmt had helped tremendously especially in the Transportation and Infrastructure side, however I am inclined to believe too much damage has been done and it will be a long road to recovery. All of the employee benefits (bonuses, perks etc) that were once in place are all gone now and there is no incentives for employees to stay. The HSE and HR teams are both under horrible leadership. Specifically HSE, the leadership is extremely poor, leadership in this group tends to sit on items far too long and the HSE staff are treated extremely poorly. HR tends to sweep any concerns under the rug and they are never dealt with. This is not a company I would ever recommend working for unless the new CEO makes swift changes.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
