Pros

I have worked in the past at other large multi-national PLC engineering consultancies and to work in an environment like the one created by the partnership at BH is a refreshing change. A genuinely progressive, forward-thinking consultancy which places unique/flagship/interesting projects at the forefront of its goals (and profit margins secondarily). The business is full of bright, committed, keen engineers and has an emphasis on youth and the contribution of young engineers. Sustainability and people-focused outcomes are always promoted and the socially conscious culture is critical to this.

Cons

Incredible projects can require substantial commitment and need the quickest minds. Not a place for the half-hearted or slow.

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.
