Pros

Great experience for future power engineering prospects with Sargent & Lundy or without Sargent & Lundy. The power engineering experience gained by working for an engineering consultant firm, of this caliber, provides much more diverse exposure to the practices of many clients. This diversity of knowledge adds value to the employee and the employer. The salary is above average. The benefits are average. The perks are above average. The work life balance is sometimes great and sometimes demanding.

Cons

Jobs outside of engineering are not needed at this company. Therefore, any skill set that isn't within the boundaries of the power engineering related discipline are not as valuable. Also, the "centerpiece" for Sargent & Lundy is quality. Adding "Quality" to Sargent & Lundy products is a costly effort, which sometimes causes a distraction to the ultimate goal of customer satisfaction. Too much of the Quality effort erodes other customer objectives.

Pros

The pay, at the time, that I was with the company was on par with the top that the industry was offering. The benefits were lacking, but the pay, as well as the comp-time benefit was great.

Cons

I wish that I could say that the work was meaningful, but as an medium-level engineer, I found myself working on tasks that support staff should have been undertaking--I didn't get an advanced degree to be a CAD operator. Because I was not the most experienced person on the project, there is no way for these tasks to have distributed to others, or for management to have tried to shift resources to make it happen.
