Pros

Large variety of work. Projects span many industries and often require unique solutions. A very horizontal company making access to management or other parts if the business quite simple. There is a position somewhere within the company that can fit any set of interests and expertise.

Cons

A good set of official core values diluted by actual actions taken by management. Opportunities often require being in the right place at the right time. This makes it easy to "miss the boat" or not provide the client with the most qualified person for the job. During slow periods scavenging hours becomes quite common.

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
