I worked at Wood full-time
Pros
As a materials tech, if you are wanting to make money, you would be able to get a lot of site jobs with a lot of hours and overtimes.

Work life balance wouldn't be too satisfying

Good work culture and fun events

Went downhill after being acquired

Good pay and benefits - Good work life balance

Nice corner offices and benefits

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Wood full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
The local team has a broad pool of talent and very senior engineers with excellent mentorship and opportunities for advancement and who really care about your career development. Loyal clients and long-term projects provide stability and high utilization even during slower economic times (E&I group) High level ot autonomy and indepdence given to all staff with easy access to seniors for guidance. RRSP matching up to 7% available. "Core" extended health benefits are free. Strong dedication to safety of employees.
Cons
Constant corporate re-orgs (although limited effect on day-to-day operations) since Wood acquisition of AMEC. Too much middle management - local management has essentially no power to do anything. Some folks are overworked and high utlization is a problem. Some groups of the company will readily layoff staff when utilization drops below 80%. Completely absent IT support (outsourced since Wood acquistion with incompetent service providers and staff). Corporate cutbacks over the past 5 years include: no bonuses, reduction of healthcare spending account, increasing benefit costs, caps on banked OT hours, cancelling internal gatherings/conferences. Compensation is controlled by non-transparent corporate policies which do not reflect strong performance of local group. Very difficult to work on "internal" projects due to different systems, policies, procedures, etc.

"Great Pay"
- Work/Life Balance★★★★★
- Culture & Values★★★★★
- Diversity & Inclusion★★★★★
- Career Opportunities★★★★★
- Compensation and Benefits★★★★★
- Senior Management★★★★★
RecommendsNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Wood full-time
Pros
Great Pay in my career field. Chances to do a variety of contract work
Cons
Third name change in 10 years. Each one growing the company and making it harder to be heard when you are a simple number. Each merger brought less benefits and reduced vacation. In theory there is more opportunity, but its hard to move even within the company.
Pros
Steady work and good management
Cons
Use personal PTO for holiday office closure
