Pros

Exposure to unlimited technical experts; access to (mostly) unlimited technical resources; project work diversity and autonomy in the regions; and ongoing learning, CPD and chartership/registration support.

Cons

There is a lack of balance at management level, where there is often inadequate representation of technical expertise to influence the decision making around the progression of technical staff. This often leads to unfair and inconsistent rewards, promotions, career progression or recognition in general because the managers in place do not know what they are meant to be recognising in the first place, and their focus will be (either intentionally or unintentionally) on recognizing staff working in fields or doing work that they understand. In addition, the senior management, and human resources organizational structures and how they interface with each other allows managers to get away with bullying, mismanagement, and unsubstantiated denial of progression opportunities with no meaningful feedback or accountability. HR often fails to thoroughly investigate (or investigate at all) employment concerns/allegations involving senior managers and would rather turn well intentioned in-house mediations into point-blank one-sided cover ups. The company is more inclined to keep managers where they are as long as their financial performance is lining the company pockets with no regard or care of employee mental wellbeing. It also seems that exit surveys go to someone’s junk mail folders, and they do nothing to improve anything at the company.

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.
