Pros

Have some amazing project managers that aim to educate younger employees You can somewhat easily transfer within the company, you just have to be your own advocate and talk to the managers about the transfer first, not HR Work on some of the largest water and waste water projects in the country Extremely team oriented in field offices

Cons

Benefits could always be better; especially retirement contributions and bonus structure Head quarters is very disconnected from the field work (which is what makes all of the money, but they have yet to realize that) Can have terrible project managers that stick around and get touted as excellent because they know someone at headquarters (but this can be true at all companies)

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
