Pros

Short commute, latest design tools, competitive pay, excellent co-workers/direct supervisors.

Cons

High overhead costs make it difficult to win project awards. Top heavy on project management/project controls, so engineering hours are reduced to compensate for overall project cost. Experienced engineers retiring so the knowledge goes out the door with them.

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.
