Pros

Great work environment. Great opportunities to work in a variety of fields. Wide range of resources available, including very experienced team members who are always willing to teach. While I cannot speak for all management, my specific management is amazing. Us lower level employees are given enough trust to allow us to contribute significantly to the team without being micro-managed. A major pro is getting paid for overtime, which is not common for engineering firms. Fortunately, my department is rarely lacking overtime work, so there is usually opportunity to get some extra hours (I like overtime, if you can't tell). Sometimes overtime work is REQUIRED, so you'd have to be open to a flexible schedule.

Cons

As far as the work goes, I have no complaints. However, since the merger with PB, benefits have unfortunately changed for the worse, which has led many people to leave the company. There is a sense that management at the highest levels doesn't care as much for its employees as it does for its investors. Please note that this is absolutely NOT the case with my direct superiors to whom I report to on a daily basis. They are always looking out for us in more ways than I could ask for.

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.
