Pros

Participate high profile, capital intensive projects in a way that can make an impact. The coworkers are friendly and things can get done easily. Very professional firm with lots of practice and guidance, and expert help on many design issues. Lots of opportunities to grow professionally.

Cons

Highly vulnerable to marketing conditions. If winning a projects then lots of hiring takes place, but if a key project is lost, then layoff begins. It is sad to see people you work with leave.

Pros

Good for starting and ending a career in engineering — solid training and plenty of software available. Good benefits and WLB.

Cons

Most projects are PreFEED, so lots of generic work, and they tend to overhire for these projects. It’s hard to make it to the middle ranks here because of the overhiring and layoff on contract loss cycle. The 980 schedule is actually meant to be a 10-hr day, as they began to emphasize the importance of taking lunch. TOWP and sick days are lumped together and earned on an accrued basis, so vacation days are valuable in the beginning. You can be paid your vacation days at the end, too, when your salary is higher… the consequence is that people come in sick all the time.
