Pros

Outside of IT, the WSP business has been extremely helpful and encouraging. As a young professional I still have a lot to learn, there have been multiple high-ranking employees of the Baltimore, Bethlehem, and New York offices who have taken me under their wing and mentored me. I would say WSP really looks out for the younger generation internally.

Cons

IT... as whole In my career in IT at WSP I've been "promoted" twice without an accompanying pay raise. The excuse has been "Lets revisit after a year" then after a year goes by there is some other excuse. This has also been the case for a few other IT Another problem is IT doesn't hold anyone accountable. There have been several employees who, despite committing egregious workplace errors, continue to be employed. At the Service Desk level, we've hired quite a few contractors which I assume is common these days. WSP is FLAT OUT LIEING to these poor kids, telling them the position is 6 month Contract to Hire which is completely untrue. The Service Desk will be completely outsourced on August 1st.

Pros

We get paid every two weeks as expected and on time.

Cons

Cost of benefits is exorbitant. The employer to employee ration is approximately 55 to 45 (although they will BS you into thinking its 60 to 40). 401k match is a joke. Zero flexibility-working from home is frowned upon on the rare occasion it is allowed. Compassion never enters the building...9/11, Blackout, Hurricane Sandy-use your own PTO despite the fact that there was no way employees could travel to work. While the engineers who are the bread and butter of the organization can be condescending, obtuse and mean they are outdone by the senior managers in Corporate. Diversity is a joke joke joke. Age discrimination is rampant. Sexism just par for the course. The toxicity of the New York office is epic. As a hiring manager, I can not begin to express the ineptitude of the recruitment department. I have been in this organization 10+years, there has not been a decent recruitment team in place in about 5-6 years. Is finding talent to find your talent really that difficult? Technology is woefully behind the times. And instead of addressing this, they decide to outsource the broken systems antiquated systems to save labor costs. PB was its own sad little place, but since the WSP takeover PB now looks like it was Disneyland. We had no idea things could possibly get worse. WSP walked in and said hold my beer, we can show you true miserly misery. It is definitely time to end this chapter
