Pros

People are nice, working half-day on Fridays (If you don't mind the low pay but want a stable job, here is the place... )

Cons

Pay for PA & PC are below average (don't trust the salary info listed on Glassdoor), no career advancement

Pros

Large cooperation with a very broad range of service offerings. More stable as a result than smaller firms

Cons

New Leadership (last two years) has really taken the organization down a poor path that is even worse with the acquisition of CH2M. It has become a bloated bureaucracy without a strong understanding of the business and markets. Fort Worth in particular is essentially a stepchild ot Dallas with very rare (less than annual) visits by senior management from Dallas).
