Cons
Most of their work is performed in third world countries. They have been able to be successful working in countries where labor laws are basically nonexistent and they can pay what they want and treat employees like crap. If you are a US citizen, once you have mobilized to your project location, the corporate office does not care if you live or die, you will basically be at the mercy of the project manager. While the salary might look good at first, consider you will be working 60+ hours. At 60+ hours, you are actually just making around $20-25/hr. For local employees there are huge wage gaps dependant on how much your PM likes you, and irrelevant to your work performance. Gender discrimination and other types of discrimination are huge too. Local field employees are constantly mistreated and management acts as if they are doing them a favor by providing them with a job. Lastly, if you have any issues where you know your rights as an employee are being violated, do yourself a favor an go straight to the client who will perform an independent and unbiased investigation. Do not bother reporting to BLHI, they will do their very best to protect the perpetrator.
