Not good in the long run

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, some benefit of the project(s) down the line once bechtel finishes or is run out.

Cons

Management, culture, arrogant corporate mgmt, there are two companies, corporate and project. Unless your part of the in-crowd, might as well forget it. Mgmt consists mostly of amoral self involved salesman that would tell anyone (above them in rank) whatever they wanted to hear, and they really, really do not care on whit about employees, the majority of rank and file folks are thought of as garbage behind closed doors. If you dont mind being on the Con, or at the least can use orwellian "doublethink" you can do very well at bechtel.

Pros

Potential to make good money. Except, you must either be married, or having an affair with a higher up manager. And better do it by age of 40 or you become stagnant.

Cons

It's who you know, not what you know. Extreme favoritism. Especially if you have family in high places or are married in.
