Pros

Great benefits compared to competitors; little accountability to metrics - job security. Private ownership is key, great client base.

Cons

Behind competition on nearly all accounts. Leadership in the US is very week. Heavy regional leadership with little national focus. Acts like a small and regional firm. Lack of accountability.

Pros

Growing US business with lots of opportunity for career development. Excellent general manager, service line managers, and local managers. Listens to employees through surveys, and open to employee feedback if you have the gusto to ask for things. Good mentoring program and experienced people are giving of knowledge and time. Employee ownership is becoming more accessible Genuinely good people who want to solve problems and provide client service Increasing knowledge and delivery of Design-build projects. Winning lots of work lately and the North America Wastewater Lead and water group business leader are extremely competent. Local office encourages YP engagement and provides funds to do fun things during lunch or after work like the ping pong club. Quickly adapted to remote work and have become more flexible.

Cons

Less than 30 percent of employees are shareholders and the shareholding program is not very accessible or transparent. The benefits and time off/holidays are average. Due to growth, procedures and tech systems are constantly changing and it's hard to keep up with the current way something should be done. Like many other companies, liability is a big factor for decisions, such as delayed return to office (covid). Local young professionals are relied on to lead morale boosting events and team building. Salary adjustments can leave some to be desired. QA/QC of design documents should be more extensive. Drafting team isn't very attentive to detail. No paid paternal leave.
