Pros

In the Env Permitting field, there are fantastic mentors and you'll work directly with sr staff across multiple disciplines. Their quality control sr review process is a bit process heavy, but wow is it ever effective and an amazing learning opportunity for up-and-comers. Safety is a priority and it is truly reflected in the day to day work they do.

Cons

Poor succession planning, low employee recognition which makes it hard for them to retain good intermediate level staff, and Ontario bonuses are negatively affected by low revenue years in Alberta. However when Alberta has a good year, the policy is not to share it across regions. Hypocrisy can be infuriating.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
