Pros

Friendly colleagues and collegiate work environment where you get to work with people from around the world, and tap on their knowledge and expertise. Flexible with time offs and management takes a hand off approach as long as work gets done. Can expect to go home on time as long as it is not during project season. One of the biggest name in the construction/consultancy industry, and get to work on some of the biggest projects in the region Good safety culture

Cons

Salary can be slightly below the industry norms, and slow progression. Need to be working on the big projects to have any recognition within the company

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
