Pros

The company is really good about allowing you to attend the important things in life - weddings, funerals, etc. and is staffed by a number of very talented, helpful, and outgoing individuals who are willing to help and mentor as required. Hatch also affords you the opportunity to visit a number of locations globally that most others wouldn't get a chance to see.

Cons

The company requires a lot from their employees in order to get projects completed on time. They often underbid projects and are crunched for time requiring a lot of unpaid overtime to get the work complete or will expect you to be able to travel at the drop of a hat to meet the project staffing requirements. It was be very disruptive to one's home and social life.

Pros

I think they honestly tried to do their best. Pretty much everyone was at least OK and most were excellent. Better than most other Canadian EPCM firms. Reasonable work life balance if you are not a pushover.

Cons

Pathetic at business planning, marketing and client schmoozing. Overhire in booms and then massive layoffs. They still advertise they have 11,000 employees...LOL...more like 7,000..why the lies? if you are not an associate you are pretty much a contract employee with benefits. They will whack you with absolute employment standards minimum..."thanks for coming out".
