Current Employee – been working at Bechtel full-time for more than 8 years

Prosgood 2nd innings, they don't give anything until you resign and come back in a year or so.

Consperformance is over hyped and in reality under rated. stay away from power projects, unless you like to be a daily labour paid 8 hours for 12 hours of daily work. yes they have overtime but it's non existent in reality. the supervisors say, no budget baby, and threaten covertly. that's ethics 101 here. top management sings a different song altogether. US guys don't care and local are only to glad, they just blame people productivity for not giving overtime! they hired all useless dimwits , if you believe them. non the less. french queen rule! no bread -then buy pastries.

Advice to Senior Management...no use.

Gurgaon, Haryana

Current Employee – been working at Bechtel

ProsBrand name
Organised way of working, procedures
Good if ones join at high level

ConsSenior management least cared about interests of employees, improper AR, no value for words/promises
Complicated talks on quality, six sigma - which are never implemented. Management to rather reach out to people than discuss them in high level meetings without involving the main contributors.
Ethics exist only on wall hangings and on paper
No care taken to enhance skills. Any one can be put on any project as need arise. Employee only informed about his new assignment.
GET and freshers (the labourers) <do this need any explanation>

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
