Pros

If you know how to negotiate a good salary, the'll pay it.

Cons

1. No job is 100% safe, but nothing you do will spare you from eventually being cut when the company suddenly needs to "find" $10m after another sloppy merger. No utilization rate, no level of individual profitability, no amount of intra-corporate engagement matters to the accountant on the other side of the world who doesn't care who you are or what you've done for the company. 2. They're very siloed. Despite being one of the biggest engineering companies in the world, they don't share between regions. Just too difficult for them. You'll be stuck entirely in your geographic area. 3. No HR support for abusive managers. None. If you have a good manager, count yourself lucky. Because if you have a bad one, nobody will do anything about it. Firing a bad manager makes the people above him look bad for having hired and tolerated him for so long. So you're on your own there.

Pros

Great team culture, supportive colleagues, and opportunities to learn and grow. I gained valuable experience across project coordination, operations, and reporting.

Cons

PTO and sick time are combined into a single accrual bank, which may not align with every employee’s preferences. Benefits are generally competitive, though the 401(k) match could be stronger.

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.
