Pros
Bechtel has amazing benefits in terms of insurance and other health benefits. They really take care of you well with compensation and overtime pay. Also, the ability to travel internationally is a pretty huge incentive if you are into that sort of stuff. It seems that Bechtel is pretty open with its employees and even has a "stretching" time in the early morning.
Cons
The hours worked at Bechtel are awful, but you will get used to them. You work everyday from 7:30-5:30, but you get every other Friday off, which is pretty nice. Also, there's a very "old" culture at Bechtel. A lot of the engineers and management are in their 50s, and then they try to get new hires in their 20s to off-set it.
