Parsons in Iraq

Pros

Well recognized company with good reputation, good to their (most) employees offering advancement and benefits. I enjoyed working for Parsons and would work for them again.

Cons

I worked for Parsons in Iraq, and I was hired to go to Iraq. After completing that assignment I was given next to no assistance in remaining with Parsons on another assignment (we'll help you to help yourself). I'm a good employee with a good work ethic. I received good performance evaluations while in Iraq. I put my life on the line for Parsons and they didn't think enough of me to keep me on with another assignment. Employee owned means nothing, the management board is as cold and ruthless as any other corporation.

Pros

The review is a celebration of my first anniversary with Parsons Corporation. It has been a year and it has been a happening year. Parsons is an employee owned company and its success depends on the employees too. Parsons being largely a engineering and procurement company, its assets are the employees. Hence, employees are valued a lot. In the past one year as an Associate Mechanical Engineer, I have been exposed to engineering as wells as program management areas of the project. I have had the opportunity to travel a lot. It pays to travel a lot with Parsons, as it gave me the opportunity to work with tons of different people and tons of different tasks and projects. One thing, that I think is important to mention here is that everyone is Parsons is talented, hard working and helpful. Everybody gets along with everyone and supports a new employee like me. It has been an experience that I will not forget.

Cons

The only Con is the Parsons being a client oriented company, you have to be 100% billable all the time. For a starter, it might be an issue but once you get to know a few people in the company, it is easy to find work and billable hours, if you a short of any.
