Pros

Truly fun place to work. Amazing colleagues. Friendly and supportive culture (at least by construction industry standards!) Many awesome, high-profile projects. Learned so much in a short space of time.

Cons

Woeful salaries, especially for junior and support staff - some could earn double elsewhere. Seems to be a place to learn and have fun for a year or two before moving on. The LLP/partnership setup makes it feel like a law firm. Too many big egos at partner level. Quality systems and processes are outdated and not used properly by the business.

Pros

Flexible work environment was great. They're pretty good on diversity.

Cons

Stressful work for sure, but I've heard it varies depending on your location. They do random layoffs.
