Pros

The pay was fair to good.

Cons

The company culture (if you can call it that) is one of mixed messages and under cutting. Like any company they talk about the importance of employees but it’s just window dressing. This company is managed by accountants and you better hit your numbers every quarter or you’re gone. All moves are to cut costs and boost profits to show significant lenders their investment is worthy. In a constant state of reorganizing that leads to so much wasted time trying to understand what your work environment will be rather than focusing on important things like work. The supporting systems are outdated. The company had an overall feel of being a mess and lots of work needed to get internal systems functioning let alone functioning well. Leadership in business line and USA corporate is insincere and lacking. People in leadership positions train their successors through acquisitions and then get go. Toxic work environment all around.

Pros

Great team culture, supportive colleagues, and opportunities to learn and grow. I gained valuable experience across project coordination, operations, and reporting.

Cons

PTO and sick time are combined into a single accrual bank, which may not align with every employee’s preferences. Benefits are generally competitive, though the 401(k) match could be stronger.

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.
