Pros

Prestigious name in the community, Easy to network, PTO, safety culture, if you have a money making dept, you'll get paid well

Cons

Benefits are expensive for such a large co, don't always hire from within and bring in inadequate people, standards are set for some but not all, hard to get respect as a woman, technology is slow and usually behind the norm, if you work in a dept that is functional and doesn't make money....good luck.

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.
