Pros

Syska as a whole presents many opportunities for one's personal career. Many industry leaders and knowledgeable engineers to learn from. Fortunately I work for a great manager willing to provide feedback and guidance for my career progression. If you put in hard work and strive for continuous improvement, many opportunities will come up. Syska is very team oriented, a lot of collaboration.

Cons

Depending on the group you work under, there are weeks or months that are slow. Some groups are swamped with work all year long. Some managers are tough to deal with and some can not run projects efficiently. Upper management sometimes give project managers jobs to run, but runs it to the ground.

Pros

Syska has for the most part a good environment specially for mid level and younger talent to gain knowledge,grow in their profession and use it as a stepping stone to move elsewhere. Depending on which region you end up, the level of mentoring and opportunities varies.

Cons

The promotion, recognition and raises for the most part are subjective and not based on hard work and dedication to your job. Those who shout louder are more likely to be recognized if they are able to play the right amount of politics. Sadly at times the recognition comes when you're resigning!!! By then, it's too late..

Things can get slow at times, and you must be willing to be very actively proactive in progressing your career. Hard work isn't always enough.
