Great diversified company with good benefits. Large scale projects and one of the largest construction management company in Canada and US

Cons

No downsides apart from working in a large organization and you might feel lost in the beginning but will accelerate and shine when time pass, especially when you start young

Pros

Benefits, 401k match, nothing else just needed at least 5 words

Cons

Upper management was clueless, treated employees terribly, expected you to devote 100% of your time to the job, treated you poorly if you even dared to put your family first, when the division stated failing, didn't do anything to try to make it work - weren't winning work & did nothing to correct it. No wonder the division is shutting down.
