Pros

ESOP-Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Some good people work at the organization but due to limited upward mobility (if not an Engineer) they leave.

Cons

Management, the benefits cost, practice of direct charge in areas that are o/h in most instances with every other company. Moving up requires limited knowledge. Upper Managers are very insecure and paranoid of those with true job abilities.

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.
