Decent Pay...That's About It

Senior water resources engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay for a natural resources engineer

Cons

This company has absolutely no positive culture in any way. Everything you hear about large companies treating you like "just another number" could not be more true for WSP. The only thing they care about is you working beyond 40 hours. In their "Marketing 101" seminar, we were literally told that their number one key to being good at earning new business is to "do it on your own time and your own dollar." We were also told that "you're either a winner or a whiner" with the latter being true if you're not willing to sell business on your own time beyond 40 hours. If you need a paycheck, go for it. Just don't expect good benefits on treatment like a real human being.

Terrible middle management and surprisingly archaic

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The group of companies is responsible for some impressive work. Lots of talent there as well, though limited to a particular demographic. The Canadian arm of the company seems to be more progressive.

Cons

Do not work at this company if you are entrepreneurial, a woman, or a minority. If you have an inexperienced manager, make sure to communicate and document issues, and if you are unable to make headway, get out fast.

Poor management and lack of clear growth path

Business Outlook

Pros

Diverse clientele make for interesting work. Rarely lacking in work.

Cons

Sub par benefits for the size of company. Upper management seems oblivious to how poor the benefits are. Pay is well under(10-15%) the area average. Very difficult to determine requirements for growth/promotion path. Seems to be an unspoken rule that you will work the hours necessary to complete a project, even if it means working unpaid overtime due to not enough allocated budget.
