Pros

It's an Australian Global company, so the opportunities for overseas work are great! If you happen to have the right manager or mentor, there are real opportunities for growth as well. If you are an engineer in Australia, it's probably a great place to work; however other professionals may feel 'undervalued'.

Cons

'Old school' engineering culture - even though they provide all sorts of services now, they are pretty much still a male dominated engineering firm. Not a very 'cool' company, really kind of stuck in the 70's but rebranded for this century. There's no 'MBA culture' so the company is run by engineers who 'have a go' at management...

Pros

It's a great place to network across a diverse range of engineering disciplines

Cons

GHD is a mature company in a well understood market sector. Internally, the company has grown quickly and internal systems, and management of resources are struggling to keep up. The matrix structure promotes a silo mentality which worsens an already poor communication strategy across business areas, and working there can be extremely frustrating. Executive management prefers to draw from it's own ranks and keep people working in the business rather than on it. Little time is spent shoring up potential weaknesses and internal systems are ill equipped to support current needs. Leadership is poor, and relies on a top down approach with decisions communicated sporadically
