Pros

Big company and wide range of locations and types of projects to work on.

Cons

HR is the worst I've seen in the Industry. To them you are a number and disposable no matter how hard you work. Don't expect any help from management finding another position when your project is complete.

Pros

You meet nice and professional people in this company. They give the best support when it comes to relocating you.

Cons

Make sure you enter in this company in right level and grade as it will be too difficult for you to promote. Network and internal relationship will sometime work more than your contribution to this company.

Pros

Excellent internal education via Bechtel University, people are ethical and typically know what their doing.

Cons

Favouritism as many other companies have. Tend to get projects were relocation becomes an issue with families (hence why there is a large divorce rate within the project). With Riley Bechtel stepping down and his son Brendan coming into the COO/President role, we couldn't even get a few minutes while Brendan came to visit our job site.
