Pros

- Strong learning opportunities: Exposure to real engineering projects across power systems, infrastructure, and energy sectors gives a solid start to an engineering career. - Supportive and approachable colleagues: Most senior engineers and project managers are willing to explain concepts, review work, and share their experience. - Professional reputation: Working for a well-known global consulting firm strengthens your résumé and credibility early in your career. - Hybrid flexibility: Reasonable flexibility with work hours and remote days, depending on the project and team. - Safety-focused culture: The company genuinely emphasizes health and safety in every aspect of project work. - Career development: Access to training sessions, internal resources, and mentorship programs for EITs and new grads.

Cons

- Project workload variability: Depending on your group or project phase, work can swing between being too light and very demanding. - Communication gaps: Information sometimes gets lost between different offices or teams working on the same project. - Limited feedback loops: Performance feedback or growth discussions can be infrequent unless you actively seek them out. - Corporate processes: Some procedures (like document control, timesheets, or approval systems) can feel slow or bureaucratic. - Pay progression: Compensation is fair but may not be as aggressive as private tech or energy-sector competitors.

Pros

Exceptional project exposure across major U.S. transit, infrastructure, and energy pursuits — the portfolio and client roster are genuinely impressive and great for your professional brand The LTK Engineering Services acquisition brought in a strong, collaborative office culture that is noticeably more grounded and people-focused than the broader Hatch Ltd (Canadian entity) culture Strong brand recognition in the A/E/C space that opens doors with major public agencies

Cons

Hired under the Client Action Team structure, which led to significant instability — multiple management changes in a short period with little transparency or consistency Overlapping time zones and regional boundaries create constant coordination friction; the flat hierarchy sounds good on paper but breaks down quickly when accountability is unclear and no one owns decisions Zero flexibility on in-office requirements — no hybrid accommodation even when the nature of the work doesn't require it Promotions are not merit-based. Advancement appears tied to visibility metrics like road safety observations and office attendance rather than the quality or impact of your work — deeply frustrating for high performers
