Pros

The company has a lot of intellectual resources. They have a global talent pool.

Cons

If you interview to work here make sure you get everything they promise in writing. They'll sell you the moon then go back on what they promised and pretend they don't remember ever saying they'd provide said benefit. Benefits are a joke. Your share for health care is expensive. Really surprising for such a large company. Pay is mediocre. They don't pay for parking yet expect you to use your vehicle to go to the job sites. Holiday schedule is a joke. They spend so much money and resources pandering to nonsensical things.

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.
