Big corporation with little room to grow

Assistant vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of processes and checks & balance. The company buys lots of smaller firms to keep growing which means lots of new people and business lines.

Cons

Lots of entrenched management. The company advertised unlimited PTO that is actually capped at 4-5 weeks based on positions, bonuses are less than $1,000 a year and pay raises are capped at 3%. WSP is not an innovation driven company and they do not have any project management tools which makes it impossible to control project delivery or costs. Most of the design work is outsourced to the India offices which makes for very low quality for clients.

Terrible PTO policy

Senior consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have a great team and have really impactful work. I also think work/life balance is decent - not supposed to work over 40 hours (it still happens sometime).

Cons

The company has a terrible PTO policy, depending on your rank. There are no sick days, so you need to use your vacation days for sick time (and there is not that much PTO). Even the "unlimited" vacation is not that generous. It is a very large company and a lot of the tech/systems can be annoying and take a long time to get through. It probably depends on group, but promotion system is pretty opaque.

Corporate machine who don’t care about you

Proposals manager

Business Outlook

Pros

When I’ve spoken to technical people they’re mostly all lovely, just severely over worked and can’t support you on bids so you’re left by yourself panicking

Cons

Professional review process is none existent, and the meetings are set up as a tick box exercise. No progression path clearly defined, while expecting staff to work at the level above with no remuneration (while saying they’re not ready for the promotion). When concerns are raised to senior management these are either brushed away and ignored, or you are told you could have done more (when this isn’t possible. Lack of motivation and passion across the board due to how management treat staff. A whole systematic change is needed to improve day to day roles of employees. Blame culture is rife. Induction is none existent.
