Pros

Had a continual stream of projects to work on.

Cons

During my time at WSP Canada Inc. I had no mentorship, was unfortunately a victim of constant harassment and was given no opportunity for career growth, in fact, salary (hourly wages) cuts occured every year. Not only were wages cut but starting salary had been below industry standards. Sexist jokes and remarks about my career advancement were constant. The inability to give credit where credit is due was astonishing, I was even told to take credit for developing an application which was not my own - I refused. Dispite constant thinning of employees that went on around me, the constant wage cuts and low moral - I only stayed because I needed the job.

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.
