Pros

Well I cannot see any best reason why should anyone work for this pathetic organization which doesn't value their employees

Cons

1. No recruitment stratergy / No manpower planning 2. Very biased approach ( for eg: their some managers, leads and Senior leads who don't know how to use a basic Microsoft i.e Excel, and PPT's for their meetings or data in their day to day life. These are the set of people favoured and are saved just because they come from a particular community as the management) 3. Organisation over hires and spoil the career of their employees. 4. One of their recruiter who is a right hand of the management over commits and always use fake information about the company to convince the candidate. 5. Certain confidential data is leaked by the anylatics team ( for eg. Company was laying off people and this information was supposed to be confidential, almost the entire HRC team (recruitment team only) knew about the employee names before the management could disclose it to their employees). 6. They want the best talent and don't know how to make use of that talent. 7. Awful experience with the HR partner. Laid back attitude, and they feel their the CEO of the company.

Pros

Job and a paycheck but in a house of cards.

Cons

Wow, be careful! Atkins North America was acquired when Atkins in London bought a notorious US engineering based in Florida, PBS&J (Post, Buckley, Shuh and Jernigan). I didn't do enough research when hired and found out too late I was working for a company that has been prosecuted multiple times for serious illegalities, and some of the executives who participated but escaped prosecution are still there! PBS&J has been indicted for bribing government officials, illegal campaign contributions, and was a private company put on the chopping blocks to sell for being so poorly managed when several of the employees embezzled millions upon millions of dollars. As recent as 2016 the company was struggling financially because of legal costs and fines to the extent the focus became finishing out existing contracts rather than procuring new ones...an indicator they do not want new business and are likely to chop off the US engineering wing and spin those employees out to another company. Do your research before accepting a job there, the good old boy network that didn't previously get caught or prosecuted in the illegalities is still working there, and they haven't changed much in being secretive about what they are doing!! Get everything in writing as they are all about the bait and switch.
