Pros

Exposure to petrochemical engineering field. Opportunities to gain field experience by working on multiple small projects for a single client.

Cons

No training provided to entry level engineers. There is poor communication between functional managers and project managers. Given the number of employees hired in the past few years, employees are not given any individual attention. You only have a job as long as there are man-hours available for you to charge too. If there is a slow-down in the industry you WILL be layed-off.
