Company expanding throughout Canada in all construction secors (Mining, infrastructure, oil and gas, etc) allows for great opportunities for young engineers, specially out west Learning culture focused company People are great Awesome perks: Gas card, cell phone, laptop, attractive car allowance, benefits upon the best (DCPP) Initial 2 weeks vacation a year + additional paid week in December

Cons

There are still a lot of old school hard headed guys in high positions but they are getting rid of them slowly. Long hours in the summer and fall (average 50-55 hours a week), pretty chill in the winter.

Pros

decent pay, SEEMS like an evolved pleasent company, SEEMS like. they pay to fly you to holiday parties, that kind of old fashioned "were a family" kind of vibe.

Cons

got laid off, went in one day and BOOM, your gone. "were going in a new direction" and no other communications. thats it. if they can do it to me, an exempt guy, they can do it to anyone. I suspect that is the true nature of AECON. Nice maple syrup canadian veneer, but just another pipe-hittin construction company just like a lot of others.
