Pros

Some of the team was nice

Cons

A new manager was bought in to look after the team. She appears to think that is it okay to bully staff that don't comply to what she wants, particularly if they are a younger women. She actively works against other women who are at a lower level as her. She tried to use my health issues against me as a reason to get me fired, even though she was a major cause of the health issues due to the stress working under her. When bought forward to HR they didn't really try to help as I said I was not taking legal action. Since I have left, I have found out other members of staff have had the same issues, so the same behaviour is still being accepted in the company. WSP didn't even bother with a leaving interview.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
