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.

Pros

A company with great values. It is a multinational with vast resources at your disposal. Mobility and knowledge sharing is encouraged and there are unlimited opportunities for career advancement.

Cons

Although salaries are decent for the business, the business pays less than others. There is some affirmative action going on that may be seen as offensive to some.
