Pros

WorleyParsons is a world class engineering firm based in Sydney, Australia. It is truly a global company with offices located around the world. The ethnic makeup of the employee staff represents that diversity, which makes for an intriguing group of fellow employees to work with. WorleyParsons works hard to retain it's employees, not staffing up and then de-staffing as some other firms do. I can vouch for this through personal experience, and it was one of the top factors in my seeking employment there. WorleyParsons typically pays a higher salary than other competing firms. You can expect to receive one to two raises a year working for this firm!!

Cons

WorleyParsons hires highly talented people and then expects top results from their people with a minimum input of training in the ways to conduct business for the firm. My observation is that WorleyParsons should spend a lot more time in team building and establishing a singular shared culture and working environment.

Pros

- Friendly working environment (that's why 3-star in 'Culture & Values') - Global presence means diversity of projects from different parts of the world - Truly multicultural multinational company

Cons

- No vision, simply follow the clients (that's why 3-Star in 'Culture & Values') - Hiring & firing completely depend on billable hours, lack of long term planning - Too timid to take on EPC contracts (no risk = no profit, it leaves billable hours as the only way to generate profits) - Lack of its own process technology to compete with top tier engineering companies in US, Europe & Japan

Feedback on working with WP

Pros

A well established engineering company with all all procedures and knowledge base in place. Easy ambience to work.

Cons

Do not have enough work to keep the employees. I left a well established job with another engineering company on the recommendations of a former colleague to join WP in a staff role under the impression of long term future. The Project was put on hold within a few months and I was in the bin soon. The employee who recommended me got his reward by getting me to WP to finish the hours. But at the end I was the sufferer. The employer is hasitant to give redundancy as they ask you to go on leave for indefinite period. They have many international positions, but for some reason they do not respond.
