Pros

Great people and benefits. Work hours and load allowed for a good work/life balance. Pay was above average for the area and the field of engineering I worked in. Company is very committed to safety.

Cons

Company really doesn't value their employees. When people are laid off, it is effective immediately. Poor severance package. Little to no training in the office I worked in. Few promotions and little advancement.

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.
