Pros

Good place to learn technical skills as a EIT/ young engineer. Experience will vary greatly between different technology groups, and project work load.

Cons

Difficult to differentiate yourself from others. Compensation is lower than industry peers. Managements uses share purchase plan a justification for this.

Pros

Worked in a broad range of projects, good professional development opportunities available (although much less so in downturns). Worked with some excellent people.

Cons

The once flat company structure is no longer there in a lot of offices because management decision making power is now centralised in one office per region. As a result I only got the chance to meet my direct manager once over the last 2 years. Because of this there is a general feeling that the main offices get preferential treatment over other offices. Hatch tends to practice a lot of hiring and firing and being a staff member rather than a contractor is no guarantee of job security. If you are not billable, you run a big risk of being retrenched. You may get offered options to remain billable, but they tend to involve fairly terrible FIFO rotations (how does 5 weeks on, 1 week off sound?).
