Pros

Great Civil Engineering with tunneling, highway work, dams.

Cons

Lifeboat mentality with respect to bonus availability. Their are winners and losers, if you are in the boat you win big. Those at a certain level earn huge bonuses, sometimes doubling their salary. But it's almost impossible to achieve this level unless you came out of their main headquarters in England. They don't share the wealth very much with Americans.

Pros

The people at the company were nice.

Cons

As soon as I started there was little to no mentorship. I was given projects without instruction and had to figure it out myself. When I asked for work I was told I would be given some then nothing came along. I was then instructed to do trainings, but then was questioned over the trainings because company funds were tight and I shouldn’t spend company time just doing trainings (even though there was no work). It was the most back and forth work experience I have ever had. I was then laid off, along with a lot of other new grads. If you are looking for a solid work/learning experience and structured job as a new grad, I would not recommend this company. (Also would not recommend moving to somewhere for this company due to lack of stability)

Pros

Hybrid structure, work life balance.

Cons

Consistent bullying, choosing favorites, fiddling of budget inappropriately without letting the client know, Management has zero interest in those doing well. Stay away from this Company.
