Pros

Rich history of solving complex environmental problems. Very well respected in the industry. Treats its employees like superstars...it has historically been an excellent place to work. Blessed with extremely talented people at all levels. The people are also decent human beings.

Cons

Has lost its way over the past few years. Recently acquired by much larger international company. Employees have fears that they'll be booted at any time. Leadership and strategic direction seems difficult to align oneself with because of information void. Has potential to be a great firm. Biggest question is will this ever be achieved!!

Pros

Driven company that is mis-understood when it comes to the bottom line. Good chance to advance if you make it happen and are responsible for yourself.

Cons

Sometimes internal structures are not logical and creates excesive internal competition.

Pros

Very good and smart people, very technically-competent; flexible work hours, decent compensation. People are committed to doing the right thing.

Cons

Management vacated their role about 3 yrs ago when they started to shop the company around, and left the company adrift. Spent all their time "detailing" the company to get a better asking price, sacrificing some of the best features of a good workplace. Pirnie continues to tread water with old clients, but no real "strategic direction" or real new clients since merger, no commitments to marketing. Lost number of good clients (and staff) due to COI with Arcadis.
