Pros

Company truly is people focused, employees treated well. People are nice and great to work with Lots of seniors who are top of their trade First look programme for students is very generous with scholarship Grads get a fair amount of responsibility early on, after the settling in phase.

Cons

Hourglass shaped hierarchy, lots of grey haired seniors and lots of junior grads, not enough intermediates (~10 experience). Intermediates seem to not have much room for career development because so many of the seniors are staying on. Recently bought by big American company so lots of the perks of the company (people focused) may be lost as it focuses more on revenue. Biggest gripe is the inconsistent work pipeline. Not winning enough jobs, especially in the infrastructure space. Hence people are not always kept fully utilised. This has caused a lot of intermediates and experienced grads to leave the company.
