      Pros

      - Fantastic manager and a very skilled team ( particularly Water Resources and Highway/Construction) - Work on complex, large-scale (up to $ billions) projects - Overtime pay typically available, depending on contract - Good culture with respect to letting teams and managers do their jobs, at least from my point of view. - A flexible company--my manager(s) were mostly very understanding of work-life balance and open to ideas, changes, etc. Flexible work schedule offered. Also, they let me switch into the Graduate Development rotational program, which allowed me to work within different facets of civil engineering. - A decent amount of work in the field, if you want it. - At the time (not sure how it is now), they didn't "cram" any "inclusion" initiatives down your throat... it felt like a naturally diverse and merited workforce at the Austin office, and a nice atmosphere.

      Cons

      - Acquired by SNC Lavalin (somewhat sketchy past?), making it an even larger corporation, effects TBD - Somewhat difficult to get in on the more "innovative" projects and solutions.. most work, on the individual, granular level, seems to be "build more, build bigger", and sort of run-of-the-mill civil engineering. - Found out an immigrant colleague within a different department was underpaid compared to American peers (the person was at the mercy of their work-visa, more or less). It could be an individual issue with that manager, but probably an industry-wide, or even country-wide practice, which wouldn't surprise me--nonetheless, it was upsetting and off-putting.
