Pros

Golder/WSP provides excellent hands on training and I would say that it is a great company to start out your career.

Cons

As a junior staff you are expected to work out of town a lot. Like a lot a lot. Your base pay is absolute garbage, but management seems to think that’s okay because you get lots of overtime. Work/life balance is a myth here.
