Pros

Excellent work environment. Work-life balance. Sophisticated work.

Cons

Advancement in terms of compensation and promotions are vague. Of course after performance, seems it's more really more about years at the company than anything.

Say "bye" to teleworking

Pros

9/80 schedule is a nice change of pace, coming from more traditional 8 hour shifts 5 days/week. Lots of flexibility with start/end time. PTO allowance is more than other employers I've worked for in the past.

Cons

Employees are now required to be in the office 3 days per week; previously 2 days per week. Brendan/Craig (and all the other middle management who drink the kool-aid) purport this change will lead to "more collaboration", but from what I've seen it's just given people more time to waste standing around talking about non-work related stuff (usually for hours on end). Other than that, 401K isn't matched until after working one year. It's a fair amount, but not THAT much more than other places to warrant not matching from the very beginning. Additionally raises seem to be small, and promotions don't really seem to be a thing.

Pros

Even though the location is in a remote area but the benefit that comes with it makes it really worth it. Some faced hard time getting promotions or being recognized but you get a lot of experience working with Bechtel

Cons

Great salary, great culture, mostly employees are very friendly and almost everyone knows each other, you will feel like a family. Free accommodation with 3 meals a day, laundry service.
