Business Outlook

Pros

Broad range of projects to work in, plenty of travel, most of the projects are non-local, which gives great experience

Cons

A big company like this is very slow to adapt and keep up with modern advancements. Lots of red tape to get through to get anywhere. Upper management is full of older people stuck in their ways, and will try to help you advance. wages are on the lower side of average, benefits are slowly getting worse and worse.

Needs to review and redefine itself and its policies

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has an excellent reputation as a top-notch engineering firm. Employees take great pride in knowing that PB was instrumental in building the original NYC subway, developing early rail lines in China, and that PB continues to be part of important and exciting projects around the world.

Cons

Shortly after being hired by this engineering leader it became clear that the company under-values any employee serving in a support role. They've already cut staff, limited increases and promotions, and removed everything that might improve employee morale in their quest to maximize profits and reward senior management and engineers. This employee questions the ethics of the company leaders who promote these policies.
