So Far, So Good!

Pros

Good pay and above average benefits. I work out of a remote office that was bought out by GHD a few years ago, so it still has that small company feel.

Cons

Some projects involve way too many engineers from multiple states and/or offices. It's hard to get them to make a timely decision on issues encountered in the field. It can take weeks to get an answer on trivial things that could have been worked out locally and in a few minutes. The management structure is complicated, it's hard to tell who's in-charge of what. Also, GHD has too many acronyms for things, if you work here you know what I'm talking about!

Pros

Only acceptable as a last option. If desperate to get work!!

Cons

Politics, Stress, disturbed Family life (Think twice if you are joining GHD Qatar office). Qatar office is only acting as a "Front Shop". No big projects!! only working on very small scale project as a sub consultant to other bigger consultants in Qatar

Pros

Lots of opportunities for young engineers. You are given a lot of responsibility very early in your career. I was working as job manager an year after graduating. Opportunities to travel internationally.. easy to take a transfer to other GHD offices. People are friendly; great working culture. The company supports and provides a lot of training (technical and non-technical).

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies. Sometimes you don't end up working on the most interesting projects (esp in NZ). High turnover rate.
