Pros

Nice projects from infrastructure to O&G and M&M Collegues, in general, are fine and with good team work attitude. Nice benefits (pension plan)

Cons

Low salary compared to other companies and low opportunity to grow or even lower chances to become part of "the club" of associates. Some projects have toxic people poisoning the well. Some of these toxic elements are long senior associates who do micromanagement and with a low professional attitude. There are some bully senior directors that are protected by their bosses but many collegues know these senior directors are far from the mission and vision from Hatch. Talk with HR is pointless because they will protect them and screw you. They now have policy of 100% work at the office. They are against virtual or hybrid work. Expect long hours in projects with aggressive schedules.

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
