Great Salary, Heavy beaurocracy and red tape between divisions, annual "360" reviews are redundant and ineffective. - Anonymous employee Parsons Corporation Employee Review

Pros

Competitive Salary, Decent (if slightly more expensive) benefits.

Cons

Divisions don't work together well, information is shared only sporadically, advancement opportunities are limited to anyone not willing to relocate/travel extensively. Mentorship and focus is on early career professionals only (age 27 and under, after that you're on your own if you're not already on their career advancement track.). Mandatory safety training (delivered via internet tests) is essentially a waste of time to anyone who works solely within their office.

Pros

There are so many positives to working at Parsons in San Diego! The staff and management team are fantastic—everyone is incredibly kind, supportive, and always willing to lend a hand when needed. There is plenty of room for career growth, and the company truly offers a healthy work-life balance. Plus, leadership does an excellent job of recognizing and giving credit for hard work.

Cons

Honestly, nothing serious—especially compared to some tough experiences I’ve had at other companies. The only real downside is that the 401k match is a bit low compared to industry standards.
