Pros

Zachry is a company full of great people that try to do their best. We work on large scale projects, which are great experiences. Historically, there has been good stability to the company and they try to do best by the employee.

Cons

Zachry is a construction focused company. There are other business units to provide more service offerings, but construction drives the direction of the company. Engineers design to meet construction's needs and decisions. Construction makes decisions that engineers need to design around and work with. They are trying to document work practices and standards, however standard operating practices are not being followed causing a disconnected team effort on projects.

Pros

Some other employees were friendly.

Cons

Human Resource personnel on site in small CT office (1 wo/man show)and even in corporate office need to be re-educated on ethics, harassment, discrimination and in general and basic employment laws in general how to treat employees as human beings. No trust. Even if you quit, if new employer calls to verify employment do not be surprised if they say you were terminated. Fair warning.
