Pros

Ample opportunity. You will work with the best in the business. You will always have a job and if you’re actually a high performer - you will move up the ladder.

Cons

Long work hours, and will most likely get assigned to a project in the middle of nowhere. Personal/Social life must be put on hold if you’re not working out of the office. If you are good at your job, you will rarely be allowed to go back to the home office.

Pros

Exposure to large-scale, complex engineering projects Stable workflow and recognizable company within the industry

Cons

Role responsibilities were not fully aligned with expectations discussed during the hiring process Actual day-to-day work was more drafting-focused and junior in nature than expected for an intermediate/senior engineering position Career progression and internal leveling structure were not always clear or transparent External experience did not always appear to translate proportionally into internal level and compensation decisions Internal mobility and department transfer opportunities felt limited in practice Hybrid or remote flexibility appeared to depend heavily on team structure, tenure, or management preference, and there was a perception that in-office presence had a stronger impact on long-term career progression Compensation was less competitive compared to similar opportunities in the market
