Pros

Lots of training and opportunities to learn, opportunity to work on prestigious projects with experienced people from different technical backgrounds.

Cons

Compensation is decent, frequent "restructuring" and over-hiring for big projects and then layoffs once the projects are completed.

Pros

Great range of projects, including large and technically challenging ones that really allow employees to expand their capabilities and grow as professionals. There are some great people that are really enjoyable to work with. Excellent senior technical staff which provide great mentorship opportunities. The company recognizes and invests in its technical staff and capabilities. Based on my observations, advancement in the company is merit based, not a "good-old-boys" mentality or "political" as some reviewers have suggested.

Cons

The company has undergone a lot of growth and in recent years the growth has focused on diversifying services lines. At the same time, there has been ongoing internal restructuring efforts. All of this change has come with some growing pains, but has positioned the company very well for the future. Those that are not adept at change and evolution in their work place have experienced difficulties. Large firm-type administrative bureaucracy is sometimes cumbersome.

Pros

Great co-workers. Made some great friends along the way. Good starter company if you are looking on pursuing a career in construction management/inspection services.

Cons

Upper Management. The politics you have to deal with are a bit stressful. Very underminding individuals, who use placing fear into their employees as a way to continue practising managment the way that they do without interuptions. They are not for the entry level employees whatsoever, the only people that matter to this company are upper management. Anyone else, they are just a number. They use your utilization against you, when at times it is not your fault that you have no billing hours. You can never get a hold of any supervisors cause they are "too busy". This place is not what it used to be that is a fact.
