Pros

I can't name a single positive thing about this company. I would put 0 stars if possible.

Cons

The company pays very poorly. They are slave drivers who emotionally abuse young engineers. They will work you to the absolute bone. There are executives at this company who get paid millions of dollars per year but do not do any chargeable work whatsoever. They are leeches that steal the fruits of young engineers' labour. This is a toxic company managed by snakes in the grass. They do not invest in proper equipment or tools to make employees more productive or efficient. They do not even invest in enough desks for all their employees. The laptops they supply barely run CAD software. They locate their offices in disgusting homeless-infested downtown locations with outrageously expensive parking rates (wage theft). The benefits offered to employees are a disgrace. There is no reason for a consulting firm to be this big. Eventually, they will run out of companies to acquire, the share price will collapse, and the entire company will fail like the Soviet Union. Managers will berate you in front of clients. Managers will not support your career development.

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.
