Pros

Open door policy and plenty of projects to keep me interested. You can carve your own path and follow what interests you with the support of your direct supervisor.

Cons

The PEP is a good tool for determining merit increases and streamlining your personal career objectives. It would be better suited if the supervisors/upper management didn't try to cap or keep employees in the mets expectations category as quite a few exceed expectations annually.

Pros

- Office in good location - Good people (when you can find them) - Good working abilities eg working from home, flex time - When you have support from a senior manager it's a great place to be - Ability to see the world

Cons

- Happy to promote senior managers whent hey are not that nice and don't really contribute a lot to the company - Poor to non-existent benefits package - Promotion only possibly if you know someone, it's rarely based on merit of work - If you don't fit in to a conventional job role they don't know what to do with you and are not keen on crrating new roles - Staff morale is low with acquisitions in the London office - everyone is fearing for the safety of their jobs at present - Company happy to spend all the money on the senior members of staff and none on the people lower down - Staff development has take a real back seat and now is not really a priority - Budgets continue to be cut throughout the year unrealistically - Majority of people in lower roles you speak to are looking elsewhere Overall, this has the potential to be a great workplace, but it isn't. Morale in the London office is low and trying to get information from HQ in Denver or anywhere else in the world is so painful you end up wondering why you bothered in the first place.

Pros

Strong emphasis on developing people. Compensation at market but incentives are challenged due to performance. Good stock program for sr people. Some very strong market positions such as water and environmental. Historically, stock has done very well though not recently due to some bad projects.

Cons

Recent performance has pressured some of the groups severely resulting in cutbacks and layoffs. Lots of sr management changes and overhead cutbacks. Lots of changes in strategy and focus, ie fixed price construction. very Denver centric company sometimes doesn't listen well to local operations and feedback.
