Pros

Lots of offices, plenty of projects to work on.

Cons

Raises are weak yearly bumps of 2-4%, and there is no accountability from senior leadership. The organization is very vertically organized, so there are many layers of management that blame the next level of management for any unpopular decisions.

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.
