Pros

Work on a diverse selection of project and building types. Have great people with charisma. Good internal resources and ability to work with other offices. Potential to work in another office in a another city. Great at letting young engineers take the lead to learn how to become self-sufficient quickly.

Cons

The company continues to expand, merge and acquire although it has never properly unified its businesses. Many corporate actions are only at the benefit of the shareholders and not the employees. Broad direction is given from above without consideration to the local markets.

Pros

Flexible schedule (2-3 days/week working from home)

Cons

The size and matrixed structure can mean more layers of review, approvals, and standardized processes. This can slow down decisions and make it harder to move quickly or implement changes compared to smaller, more agile firms.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
