Pros

The employees I worked with were great people. I largely enjoyed my work and was given access to a lot of opportunities.

Cons

Management doesn't respect the people lower on the chain. I was hourly and was strung along without work for almost 3 months before I found another job and left. Management actively threatened to get in my way when I mentioned transferring internally to another division.

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.
