Pros

Overall the people are very good and compensation is good as well.

Cons

I understand cost cutting measures are the new business model, but to what extent. Soon, the office I am working in will be empty and all the work will be done in Mumbai. It will destroy the EPCM market and thousands of people will be unemployed. People are NOT your greatest asset, money and profits are. This is very unfortunate for Canadian economy, but it is the truth.

Pros

Interesting work. Difficult to work for a company which merges in to Jacobs over the transition period. Overall, nice team and supportive managers

Cons

Little training in three years there. Despite repeated requests. More a function of working through a difficult time period where cost cutting was necessary
