      Over Worked, Under Appreciated

      Project engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast paced environment Trust that you'll get the job done. Extravagant Company parties One of the biggest construction companies good benefits Extremely safety focussed. good potential for growth in the company.

      Cons

      Over worked (60-90 hours a week) No overtime compensation (I brought this up to management and they simply said "you get paid to get the job done") No "breather" time - Always pushing you to get the next thing done. No work-life balance - at all. most people get in at 5/6am and leave at 6pm. Stretched thin at job sites. Start with only 1 day/month of vacation. No formal training program - you are literally just thrown into a project and have to figure it out on your own.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has many large and interesting construction projects.

      Cons

      The current IT shared service department is hardly able to stay up to speed with the business, has very little work which is valued by the business partners, and has no real strategy or direction of how to improve. There are huge holes in management and leadership skills across all functions which just perpetuates the problems. Low staff engagement and moral comes from low professional career plan opportunities, lack of purpose, and not having confidence in leadership.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great company to work for. Decent benefits and really laid back and easy job.

      Cons

      Work isn't challenging, processes can be long and drawn out and more excessive than needs to be.
