Pros

Good resume builder, great place to launch a career. In your first couple years u really learn alot so the growth potential is there early on in ur career. Your peers are very intelligent and you make some decent cash compared to others entering the consulting field. The firm reputation by far is the best peice u take with you once u leave (and you will leave, there are definatly better places out there post grad)

Cons

bad work life balance, not much room for advancement, better places out there with advanced degree. Increased responsibilities with uneven salary matched....pryamid, easy to enter, hard to advance

Pros

You have sustainable hours for construction but there is mandatory overtime (The most I’ve done is 51 hours in a week), they pay you enough to live on, it’s good experience, upper management pays lip service to workers rights, there is genuine concern and regulation from management to provide you an emotionally and physically safe place to work, you’re never really rushed to do your job, and you do have the right to stop work

Cons

You need a degree in engineering or geology to move up and you have to threaten to move offices or take another job to get a pay raise. It’s not unionized.
