Pros

Learning new tools and tech.

Cons

Toxic environment defined by systemic bullying and favoritism. Management treats career development as a hollow formality and actively blocks professional growth. There is a blatant disregard for employee well-being, including pressuring staff over maternity leave and failing to address formal HR complaints. The culture promotes unqualified individuals while high-performers are forced into stress leave or resignation due to poor leadership and lack of accountability. Leadership lacks accountability; when management underperforms, frontline employees are treated as disposable headcounts and sacrificed to cover for systemic failures.

Pros

Exceptional project exposure across major U.S. transit, infrastructure, and energy pursuits — the portfolio and client roster are genuinely impressive and great for your professional brand The LTK Engineering Services acquisition brought in a strong, collaborative office culture that is noticeably more grounded and people-focused than the broader Hatch Ltd (Canadian entity) culture Strong brand recognition in the A/E/C space that opens doors with major public agencies

Cons

Hired under the Client Action Team structure, which led to significant instability — multiple management changes in a short period with little transparency or consistency Overlapping time zones and regional boundaries create constant coordination friction; the flat hierarchy sounds good on paper but breaks down quickly when accountability is unclear and no one owns decisions Zero flexibility on in-office requirements — no hybrid accommodation even when the nature of the work doesn't require it Promotions are not merit-based. Advancement appears tied to visibility metrics like road safety observations and office attendance rather than the quality or impact of your work — deeply frustrating for high performers
