Pros

Houston office works 4-10 schedule with Friday's off. Decent benefits: 401k with matching, high deductible health insurance with HSA, 3 weeks PTO. Mentoring programs for younger employees and those early in their careers. Older workers also valued.

Cons

Downturn in oil and gas industry has seen a lot of work going oversees to reduce costs. I've heard the outsourced work is subpar. Layoffs are ongoing as of early 2017

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
