Pros
The work is important (helping companies develop risk management and safety programs that make their processes safer for their employees and for the general public), technical (you become very familiar and comfortable and work often with chemical engineering terms without being too difficult), and collaborative (constantly working with clients and other associates to fix issues or learn more techniques or... information).
Show MoreCons
Clients can sometimes be tricky or difficult to work with (e.g. not respond to emails, not provide enough information, etc.). Certain assignments can take much longer than the hours that are allotted to you, which can lead to long days/nights or weekend work on projects.

"Miami (and Boca) Office and SE Region very dysfunctional"

Pros
The overall (US) company ownership as an ESOP
Cons
SE Region and Miami and Boca offices in particular, and especially the environmental side of the business. Worst combination possible - preach culture yet don't live it. Senior turnover is extremely high and financial performance is extremely subpar.
Advice to Management
Rid region of recent management no longer in position but still providing dysfunctional leadership.

Pros
Lots of free lunches for management type training
Cons
No advancement opportunities for women engineers, women are "window dressing", static management culture, limited investment in job training to do your job better. Too much stress on utilization. Loss of staff who have served 5 years or less.
Advice to Management
Find real opportunities for women to hold management positions. Work on management transition plan. Make management accountable for excessive staff turnover.
