Pros

For Traveling Position - Great pay, great benefits, lots of material swag, good job for recent graduate because it exposes you to a huge variety of job scopes and types of project teams, kind people, wonderful company-wide events

Cons

Extremely long hours, isolating work culture, very conservative, didn't do anything to avoid exposing staff to COVID-19 (extremely unsafe jobsites), didn't take sexual harassment seriously, didn't take racist remarks seriously, very minimal on-the-job staffing and support, basically no onboarding process

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
