Pros

Lot's of really good people on a professional and personal level, variety of projects, decent salary starting off. Very big consultancy so opportunities to move about if that's what you want. Office is in a fantastic location and it is generally a nice working environment. Work/Life balance is generally good but extra hours should be expected when deadlines are tight.

Cons

Poor opportunities for training and personal development in my opinion. The company promotes flexible working but seem to question working from home or flexi-hours, maybe this changes on a team by team basis rather than being down to the company itself though. Although that isn't a reflection on work/life balance but staff shouldn't be made to feel somewhat guilty for starting or leaving at a certain time if the work gets done. Mediocre pension and benefits especially in comparison to competitors. The company has grown exponentially in the last 3 or 4 years so maybe when it settles down then the benefits and pension will improve.

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.
