Pros

WSP provides a huge range of projects for all trades within the industry. It's a great place to touch on many different things and with any large multidisciplinary, communication is easy with other groups.

Cons

Employees are given the impression their work is not appreciated. Words of praise are given expressionless and it seems the action is a chore. Delivery of project is usually expedited and quality is not always there. There's little opportunity for advancement and lots of pigeon hole situations. Company expanded too fast and is unable to keep up with itself. The firms bought out are still functioning individually rather than the company as a whole. The expansion created a very "corporate" atmosphere and investment on employees have been severely cut. Every action limits the potential growth of new employees and younger staff. Sub-par benefits. Typical benefits and fairly average pricing. There's a vesting period for 401K and it is only great when making under a certain dollar amount. After some years of experience you'll reach the salary and if earning more than that, company match is capped even lower.

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.
