Pros

Pay is above average. The work is very unique and interesting while supporting America's war-fighters. Work a 4/10 schedule with a lot of opportunity for overtime.

Cons

Nearly everyone has at least a hour long commute. The nepotism and cronyism is at level that defies the bounds of human understanding. If the senior managers are not related then there horses are.

Pros

Overall the people are very good and compensation is good as well.

Cons

I understand cost cutting measures are the new business model, but to what extent. Soon, the office I am working in will be empty and all the work will be done in Mumbai. It will destroy the EPCM market and thousands of people will be unemployed. People are NOT your greatest asset, money and profits are. This is very unfortunate for Canadian economy, but it is the truth.
