Pros

Very warm and caring culture for an EPC engineering firm.

Cons

Work can fluctuate greatly due to the economy so job security isn't the best even if your performance is better than average.

Pros

Nice offices, if you are in the office.

Cons

Giant management structure with no clear organization. Many competing objectives, with no real team mission. Every regional manager has his own objective, and it's not about the employee. Locker room culture.
