Business Outlook

Pros

Large world wide company that allows you to be exposed to different facets of the engineering industry IF you push yourself to be exposed. Somewhat flexible and vacation time is sufficient. You are able to purchase vacation if you want. Good medical benefits.

Cons

A huge company bureaucracy. Upper management bonus pools create a very political atmosphere given that you must also me vouched for consideration in the bonus pool. The company has no loyalties and will fire and hire without thinking about it. Pressure for billable hours is huge. There are only two numbers the company cares about, your employment number and the number of hours you bill. The real money making lower staff worker bees have ridiculous utilization goals.

Cons

-leadership behaviours misaligned with vision and values- talk the talk but not walking the walk -have lost considerable talent in past 18months at all levels, and seemingly unconcerned about it -leadership/management recognise business' (and their own) weaknesses, but do little about it -compensation -highly politicised, transformation and growth is driving 'protect your own back' behaviours

Great staff level employees, incompetent management, poor work enviornment

Business Outlook

Pros

Great staff level co-workers who were friendly., intelligent and always willing to help out. An environment of job site safety was fostered.

Cons

There was a high turnover in the staff and most people were unhappy in their work there. Management had no idea how to lead and work was all about meeting your billable hours. Advice would be don't consider working there. When you interview they will talk about career advancement and how great it is to work there. Do not believe it .
