Pros

- Hybrid set-up (2 days WFH and 3 Days On site) - Work-Life Balance is superb! - Has 3 offices in the Philippines (Quezon City, Makati City and Cebu City)

Cons

Business outlook not good atm. They expand in the Philippines thinking they can make it as an important hub to leverage the low salary. The main issue was they forgot their entire Australia business. The higher ups are now consolidating "business regions," laid off a lot of workers from Australia and North America and is starting a manpower outsourcing business that cater to their competitors. If you were hired by GHD as an electrical modeler 2 years ago? Don't be surprise if your Manager told you to work on as an Architectural Modeler or Civil Drafter just to have those utilizations up! Career path for experienced modeler and engineer is non-existent and good luck creating quality works when workers either laid off or resigned.

Pros

Great starting point as an internship, gives you good experience to the professional and consulting world, pay for an engineering intern is satisfactory. Values of the company and support from coworkers is appreciated. Seems to be a psychologically safe place to work and make mistakes. No noticeable workplace toxicity or politics. Everyone seems to be authentic and chill. Not noticing anyone keeping their heads down and received reports of satisfaction with work environment from coworkers. Exposure to a variety of projects, including field work experiences. Seems to be a solid resume builder.

Cons

Need to be pretty proactive for work. For me who enjoys having work to do, its kind of stressful. You have to take initiative in making your own plan. For someone who thrives in structure and needs a bit of help in planning, this is a struggle. Limited flexibility in doing a hybrid role (even though job description stated it was when I applied) For someone who is 42 mi from the office and with heavy traffic takes 1h 15 min to reach the office, its a struggle. But I understood that my commute time is longer than average when I took the position.
