Pros

Supportive team and managers within the group. Good mentorship if you’re willing to seek out help and. There’s lots of building opportunities in the group and in the company. There is also an internal push to be more inclusive and flexible.

Cons

Still a large company and takes lots of push from the employees to see change. There is however a desire from the Canadian leadership team to listen with yearly or biyearly pulse checks (anonymous surveys) which helped bring in some maternity leave top ups, paternity leave too ups, and changed the starting vacation from 2 weeks to 3 weeks. Areas of improvement include the IT department, the leadership team valuing the Employe Resource Groups with their own time codes, more D&I in the M&E department, too many corporate emails and some times there are too many corporate led initiatives that take you away from your day to day.

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.
