Pros

Company has good technical resources such as access to standards and softwares

Cons

- Lack of good leadership at all levels - Non-existent career development. Although you fill form, the process is not carry out - There is too much people for managing the company than engineers (ie HR, control doc, etc.) - Excessive paperwork - The company has excessive rates that doesn't allow to get competitive rates to get new projects, which affect the employees exposure to new projects - All travelling times are try to made on employees weekends and holidays - By being a private company owned by the senior employees, the rates and right decision of who should leave the company is compromised. - Trying to decrees rates, company had let go engineers and intermediate engineers, keeping mainly graduates and really global manager engineers, which will affect work quality.

Pros

Exceptional project exposure across major U.S. transit, infrastructure, and energy pursuits — the portfolio and client roster are genuinely impressive and great for your professional brand The LTK Engineering Services acquisition brought in a strong, collaborative office culture that is noticeably more grounded and people-focused than the broader Hatch Ltd (Canadian entity) culture Strong brand recognition in the A/E/C space that opens doors with major public agencies

Cons

Hired under the Client Action Team structure, which led to significant instability — multiple management changes in a short period with little transparency or consistency Overlapping time zones and regional boundaries create constant coordination friction; the flat hierarchy sounds good on paper but breaks down quickly when accountability is unclear and no one owns decisions Zero flexibility on in-office requirements — no hybrid accommodation even when the nature of the work doesn't require it Promotions are not merit-based. Advancement appears tied to visibility metrics like road safety observations and office attendance rather than the quality or impact of your work — deeply frustrating for high performers
