Pros

Great culture and support network throughout the company. Huge range of opportunities to work on interesting projects and work abroad.

Cons

Management's ultimate priority is billability and as a publicly listed company the main care is pleasing shareholders. Often this appears to impact the other values the company has as profitable growth for shareholders takes centre stage.

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.
