Pros

Great career starting company Flex working arrangements optional Employee satisfaction is definitely dependent on the group you work with If you are a self starter and want to take charge of your own career path & progression - this company is for you Safety focused and willing to address your issues

Cons

Typically our salaries are not competitive to other firms (for employees between years 1-10). End of 2021 they gave a large bump to everyone (I think to bring up to a relatively competitive level because so many people were leaving the company). When and how you get company shares is a mystery, and they like to keep it that way. You have to be nominated a few times to be considered. I want to see more females in the management structure - it's practically all men Very low annual bonuses

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
