Pros

Some very talented people working diligently to execute projects on time / budget. Strong safety culture across the spectrum of projects and people

Cons

Old boy network permeates at all levels. Back stabbing and internal bickering between offices contribute to a disproportionate amount of "politics" Renegade PM's intent on running their own mini company within the framework of the organization Completely bottom line driven makes a joke of their "core values" especially "employees are our greatest asset " .. Really??

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.
