Pros
The technical bench strength is missing. Their turnover rate is about 30% per year. It is a revolving door, with the good ones leaving within a year, and the dead wood sticking around forever. They have several lawsuits on-going, with poor, shoddy engineering and planning, and it is not uncommon for WSP to be kicked off job sites for sheer incompetence. They prefer hiring associates rather that full time employees to lower their overhead costs. They work the young engineers to the bone, with little or no extra compensation. A company performing technical work is being led by VP's and Directors who are art graduates, blue collared technologists or accountants, so what do you expect!
Cons
WSP acquires companies with no planning or strategic direction. It is a big whale with its mouth wide open, swallowing whatever comes in. The Oracle implementation was a joke. People are still struggling. They have a hard time integrating companies and their ERP system is a big failure. They told people to stop complaining about the Oracle project. They have also insisted on people returning to the office 3 days a week, so if WFH is your thing, think again. Look at the job board, and see how many vacancies they have! There's an obvious retention problem this company is facing, and that speaks volumes about the leadership.
