The Walsh Group reviews

Project engineers are basically field admins, little to no cost or schedule control opportunities for project engineers, management wants to work you 60-80 hours/week.

It's evident that people in shared services are treated as second-class citizens. This includes employees in HR, legal, career development, marketing and admin roles. While the pre-con and con side receive benefit upon benefit (eoy bonuses, project bonuses, ability for promotion and growth) employees in shared services do not. For the few years I was employed at Walsh, the people in my department received a raise once. Our projects remained the same year and year without any regard to professional development, burn out etc. Contractually designated vacation days were taken away, there was no consistency in yearly reviews or exit-interviews. Overall, I found it to be a very difficult work environment and feel that others did as well based on how many people resigned around the same time I did.
