Pros

Having the ability to move between offices and business units and also job function (provided you have the skills needed) Being an EPC, ability to work on different major projects allows one the opportunity to learn quickly and advance career. Majority of senior management listen to their employees and genuinely care for them and their career path. Lots of interactive events and education programs available. Incredible amount of experience and knowledge available within the organization and shared between the 40+ offices using a knowledge share forum. There is always a drive by management for improvement within the Construction business line. Ethics in the workplace is highly valued. Time off with pay is very flexible and taking vacation or flex time is never an issue.

Cons

Salary is not industry leading or on the high end of the spectrum for EPCs, but there are a lot of factors such as great work environment, experienced peers and management which increases job satisfaction - something that you can't put a price on. While majority of facilities provided are nice, workstations in some places could use updating and a better layout is needed in some places (i.e. more offices) Occasionally there are managers / leads / directors sitting in cubicles.

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.
