Recruiters lie to you. There is little to no communication between recruiters and management. - Engineering Technician WSP Employee Review

Pros

Employees can work whatever schedule fits their lives. Employees can charge a lot more hours than they actually work.

Cons

The recruiter (Grace Kennedy) that called me about this position told me there were a lot of opportunities for advancement. She also said I would get a raise if I was hired on full time by the company once the contract ran out. Neither of those ever happened. I don't know the full dynamics about what recruiters get for filling positions but it seemed that she was okay with lying to me to get me to take this position because it benefited her somehow. There isn't enough work to be done to justify 40 hours most weeks. Most employees charge a lot more hours than they actually work and that is not only allowed, it seems to be encouraged by the shoddy management at this place.

Pros

Great team culture, supportive colleagues, and opportunities to learn and grow. I gained valuable experience across project coordination, operations, and reporting.

Cons

PTO and sick time are combined into a single accrual bank, which may not align with every employee’s preferences. Benefits are generally competitive, though the 401(k) match could be stronger.

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.
