Pros

Big company, lots of resources

Cons

Very political. It's so hard to work with others as there are no communication between people and groups. They all have their own ideas and not work together to form a mutual understanding. Senior management do not understand/aware of what staffs are doing/up to. They will keep piling loads of work until you crashed. If senior management doesn't like you much, they will throw you completely under the bus, and let you sink all the way down to the bottom of the hole, and blame you for everything.

Pros

A bit of schedule flexibility, Interesting projects

Cons

There are two or three troublemakers on the staff that will throw anyone under the bus in a heartbeat if it means getting ahead with the director and above. As long as they are permitted to get away with their act, things unfortunately will not change. Have seen very good people get fired/let go while the worst teammates/people stick around.

Pros

1. The company pays well. 2. EDO (earn day off) program is awesome - works out to almost every second Friday off based on working 9 hours per day (1 of 8 hours is banked). 3. Very casual environment. 4. Currently there are excellent VP's working for the company (not including HR). Good leadership goes a long way. 5. Company is flexible on work hours. Good work/life balance 6. Good benefits

Cons

Where to start... 1. HR team desperately needs to go! Not too many things worse then those who condone double standards. 2. Due to the economy downturn the company is struggling to bring in new projects - this is also due to being too expensive when bidding proposals. 3. Lots of staff turnover and lots of instances of blind-siding layoffs. As well as switch & bait layoffs - i.e switching someone's currently role to someone else's role who is planned to be laid off while the other person (being laid off) has no clue. 4. Many PM's and Engineers do not follow general PM practices 5. Lack of company training and ongoing education of the company culture - i.e something is rolled out but then never really brought up again. As well as a definite clash of PMO mapping. 6. The company has gone from a smaller EPCM firm to merging with the corporate division and is currently still suffering many growing pain since 2015. The company, on many levels is nowhere near ready for these types of big adjustment and/or unwilling to accept change. 7. Facilities Manager also needs to desperately go! Not sure how it's considered productive when it takes up to 1-2 weeks to get back to people or not at all. Or dropping last requests/tasks on people expecting them to drop and stop everything they're doing just for you and just because you dropped the ball. Or getting your hair done during business hours. Or talking trash about your team and/or other employees in general. Or simply lying about various things. Fortunately not everything about the company is horrible however these types of actions from this particular individual does absolutely nothing good for company on many levels.
