Pros

100% employee-owned (ESOP) — uncommon and valuable for long-term wealth; employees typically get an initial stake in year one that grows over time. Industry leader / stable pipeline — consistently ranked by ENR among top firms across power, water, and telecom; strong exposure to renewable energy, grid, and water projects. Breadth of work (critical infrastructure worldwide) → good resume signal and varied project experience. Ownership culture messaging (no outside investors; value accrues to employee-owners)

Cons

Management/bureaucracy complaints and slow promotions show up in reviews; experience can vary by group/office. Workload / billable pressure and occasional layoffs/reorg churn mentioned by reviewers (common in large EPC/consultancies). Compensation/bonuses: reviews are mixed on bonus availability and size below certain levels; confirm your eligibility.
