Pros

The people you work day-to-day with are fantastic. The company participates in several community programs like the Ride for Heart, Engineers Without Borders, Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer, and family sponsoring.

Cons

As a non-shareholder, your highest priority is to secure billable hours at all costs. The company has been downsizing heavily for several years due to its inability to secure contracts. Transparency is low. Quarterly townhall meetings to present positive company outlooks are considered non-billable. In-house training is non-billable. Standard beginning vacation allotment is 15 days increasing to the upper limit of 20 days after 5 years of service. The company shuts down for 7 unpaid business days over the Christmas break. You're encouraged to apply your vacation time or any accrued approved banked overtime to this period. Monetary compensation is lower than industry averages in the GTA.

Pros

Very little I can see if any.

Cons

Inept managers. I got hired on with Hatch to work on a big project which never developed. I found that there was a lot of inept project managers running projects that they shouldn't have been given to run in the first place. They develop projects not with the customers values considered by making it efficient and cost effective but by gaining as much profit in their pockets as they can from the project. I've been working in this industry for some 35 years and I can say that Hatch was one of the worst companies I have had to deal with. I had an uneasy feeling the whole time I worked there.

Pros

Some opportunities to work on a range of mining/metals projects, often with applications of high tech equipment

Cons

Few opportunities for promotions. Promotions/salary review process is opaque and mysterious. Board of directors (all old, Canadian men) hasn't changed in 10+ years. Very much a "boys club". No serious efforts to improve diversity, despite what they claim. Mandatory 5 days in office for everyone.
