Pros

Nothing avoid at all costs

Cons

Racist, sexist, ableist, misleads clients on contracts, lies about billed hours on invoices to clients, does not investigate harassment complaints and retaliated by threatening reporting US Citizen employees to the US government for “falsified resident documents”. Senior executive admin physically assaulted staff and the office manager told the staff if they filed a police report they would be fired. Complaint was reported to HR who covered up the harassment complaint. 5 unique complaints with over 20 double-sided pages of evidence was submitted against a Business Lead. HR happened to “misplace” the report each time. The victim was fired.

Pros

Flexible hours and benefits as part-time employee

Cons

Found out they were hiring for a similar position in the same area after they laid me off without any warning. Plenty of projects, but not willing to work with you or train properly. Also requires 3 days in the office when it was a fully remote job.

Pros

- Some of the best people I've ever worked with, incredibly supporting direct people managers - Huge variety of projects - Great industry reputation - Encourages involvement in professional development - Pay is decent and 15 days of PTO is the starting point

Cons

- WSP USA keeps buying up other firms. Merging with these firms has taken years, multiple restructures and lots of headaches. Employees in the same discipline are kept under different umbrellas, and this causes lots of headaches when trying to find folks within this massive company with the skills for a project. I've also noticed some "territorial-ism" when it comes to adding folks not from WSP originally to projects (favoriting WSPers over those recently merged). - Constant restructuring - Benefits are expensive and not comprehensive - Total lack of middle level employees, leading project and people managers to (expensively) fill in those gaps. Despite the lack of middle-tiered employees, those at the cusp of entry/middle levels are told to "wait until you've worked X years" or "get in line" before achieving those titles and pay. In this way, promotions and opportunities are overly bureaucratized.
