Pros

Bechtel identifies and rewards talented people. If you are hard working and diligent person you will be recognized. Bechtel will throw fire challenge at their best people just to make them even better! Bechtel tries to avoid layoffs as much as possible.

Cons

Being a young engineer it is tough to keep up with pace at which projects go. Self learning is a must. There will be training sessions but no formal training. Tons of overtime may disturb work-life balance. Management is aware of this fact, but it is what it is. Good thing is, unless overtime is approved, nobody is encouraged to work on weekends.
