Plenty of work if you're willing to move around. Offices all over the world. Professional work environment. One of the largest engineering and construction companies in the world. Health benefits are good, lots of flexibility with work hours. Overtime comes up with some regularity and it's paid straight time.

Cons

You need to take care of your own career -- make a lot of friends and connections so you land a spot on the next project.
