Pros

Great staff who are professionally competent and motivated to deliver the best to clients.

Cons

New directors being hired with new strategies constantly being implemented with no understanding of the work we actually do. No loyalty to staff where in the good times bonuses are delivered just to the Directors. In the bad times HR being the busiest department moving from business to business inflicting redundancies with no appreciation of loyalty, effort or length of service for the company. The Shareholder is king in Atkins. Profit and margin matter, not employees.

Pros

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Cons

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
