Pros

Hatch is one of few companies that goes out of it's way to make it's employees happy. There are plenty of opportunities to work across the globe, and hatch is happy to pay to have you and your family moved. Senior management is great for not shutting themselves out from the lower level staff. They're always happy to get a phone call or a visit from any of the employees and will openly answer any questions honestly. Small upside, but in some of the offices, coffee is free.

Cons

Because Hatch is a relatively large company, they often throw the word "Policy" around. Everything has a specific procedure and policy that must be followed. Sometimes a job should be looked at individually so the best method can be evaluated and not compared to completely different tasks. Some of the lower level management also have ego issues where they insist on proving their potential to senior management.

Pros

Exceptional project exposure across major U.S. transit, infrastructure, and energy pursuits — the portfolio and client roster are genuinely impressive and great for your professional brand The LTK Engineering Services acquisition brought in a strong, collaborative office culture that is noticeably more grounded and people-focused than the broader Hatch Ltd (Canadian entity) culture Strong brand recognition in the A/E/C space that opens doors with major public agencies

Cons

Hired under the Client Action Team structure, which led to significant instability — multiple management changes in a short period with little transparency or consistency Overlapping time zones and regional boundaries create constant coordination friction; the flat hierarchy sounds good on paper but breaks down quickly when accountability is unclear and no one owns decisions Zero flexibility on in-office requirements — no hybrid accommodation even when the nature of the work doesn't require it Promotions are not merit-based. Advancement appears tied to visibility metrics like road safety observations and office attendance rather than the quality or impact of your work — deeply frustrating for high performers
