- Big company, so career progression is slow - Big company, so salaries are good but salary growth is slow and based on career progression - Big company, so you run the risk of falling into a silo. Breaking free to explore your career desires can be a challenge.

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.
