      Pros

      Big high profile projects - working here certainly impressed my dad! Generally a nice place to work with good colleagues There's obviously a fair amount of cash washing around to spend on fancy offices and resources needed - most people seem to get a £1000 company laptop on day one. People stay here. Plenty have been here 20 years plus.

      Cons

      Crazy organisational structure split incomprehensibly between Group, Regions, Units and Divisions. Hence any issue is the subject of turf war / blame game between these and allows those in power to absolve themselves of responsibility. In reality power is in the units/divisions which in my experience operate as fiefdoms with Group trying (and failing) to get units/divisions to fall in line behind new strategy

      Pros

      Niche software dev BU followed through with employment offer after 6 month contract-to-hire period. Provided me FMLA and even additional 2 weeks paid maternity leave without any legal obligation. Hybrid remote/office-based strategy supported work-life balance. Employee-ownership of company strengthened team mentality. Improved my resource management skills, built network via enterprise training sessions, increased GIS and agile methodology domain knowledge, and learned interesting facts about sustainability and construction engineering environmental design dependencies. Also, I felt heard and valued after my project risk reporting was addressed by leadership and a major issue avoided.

      Cons

      My labor cost became commercially restrictive after leadership changes at a strategic client. I was impacted during an Oct. Reduction in Force post a re-org.
