Very Disappointed in Senior Management Team
Pros
I spent 15 years at WorleyParsons. My time was split between two CEO's. John Grill who kept the company as an Engineering Firm. Andrew Wood who does not have a clue or is listening to clueless leaders around him. Mr. Wood's ideas of turning WorleyParsons into a Consulting Firm utilizing engineering "Sweat shops" in the far east has done nothing but wreck the company that John Grill created. My last 4 major projects with WorleyParsons were ended by the client because they were disgusted with the business model and the lack of a strong engineering presence within the company. The only Pro that I can comment is that I was lucky to work under the management of John Grill.
Cons
The company is in a spiral downward. Benefits are being cut, working hours changed, no coffee or tea in an effort to save money. The Business Development Team does not know how to secure the everyday engineering work required for every plant in the world. They just keep looking for the big capital project. The local Houston Senior Management Team is more focused on keeping the young just out of college engineers (lower pay) than they are the more senior engineers and managers (higher pay). It is almost obvious that pay and age discrimination is happening in Houston.
