Pros

good brand, some good projects.

Cons

behaviour of some project directors is appalling - the bullish way they conduct themselves is not only amateur, just simply unprofessional. No control at senior level and project directors can do whatever they want to their staff, well so it seems. Everyone seems to be a project manager, commercial and engineer, very little to distinguish role. no control over hierarchy and job titles are free. shocking.

Pros

Despite all propaganda, staff always comes fifth. If you really need the money... avoid the disappointment and buy yourself some shares instead. At least still pays decent dividends and as far as management is concerned, only way you'll ever going to be valued.

Cons

Operations - Mount doom of bureaucracy with constant change in organisational structure and reporting lines. A frenetic corporate musical chairs game Culture - Big mismatch between publicised business values and prevalent internal culture Training/development - an illusion kept for appearances sake, with the single purpose of softening the true churn and burn model Diversity - keeping with the great racial exceptionalism tradition (perhaps styled after East India Trading Co.), the right genetics (sometimes just passport might do) really gives the best managers... apparently.
