      Lack of support and zero career progression

      Pros

      The single major benefit of working for Atkins is the opportunity to work on prestige projects in the UK and overseas (when internal politics does not get in the way).

      Cons

      Poor management. Within business unit there is a bad and counter-intuitive dynamic between the operations management team and the business management team. This results in the business management team spending more of their time covering their own backs than actually growing the business. This has become increasingly obvious as the market place has recovered and our competitors shoot ahead. Management are far too insular!

      It depends on the engineering group that you work for.

      Pros

      Depending on the group you work for, you can be on some of the fantastic projects. 9/80 schedule is awesome. people are very friendly

      Cons

      work can get monotonous at times. Noticed a little bit of office politics in some engineering groups

      Pros

      This will be a great addition to your CV and may even be a place you want to hang around. It's still maturing and has a few growing pains, but it's size and reputation should give you a rewarding career.

      Cons

      It suffers like most consultancies do from being quite reactive to client work. Since everyone is working for a multitude of clients, there is a lack of togetherness. Either be a Civil Engineer or be able to get along with them.
