Pros

They pay a decent starting salary. You are rewarded for progressing your personnel quals eg CEng, IEng etc. Travel/food/accommodation, all paid on corporate card, no personal costs.

Cons

If you aren't billing to a project HR will be asking why not. Expected to travel a lot to site, doesn't matter how far away it may be. Need to fly down somewhere for a meeting, expected to do it night before, or first thing in the morning.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
