Pros

--Useful for gaining (some) new experience.

Cons

--Terrible cross-disciplinary (and legacy company) integration. Politics and rogue players. --Acquisitional make-up results in a company with monopolistic identity. No company values. Company processes don't exist or are routinely ignored. --Unethical bidding/work practices. Work is priced and marketed exclusively by higher-grade team members (many with mediocre technical abilities). Client needs and visibility are kept hidden from those delivering the work. Hence, you will be expected to perform repeat and abortive work (assigned to you with no context) as a means of generating fee, as opposed to serving Clients well. Their quasi-monopolistic status (via acquisitions) allows them to get away with this behaviour. --Discontinuity across projects. --High turnover due to the above.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
