Pros

-Multinational company with offices all around the world serving the energy, resource, power and infrastructure sectors. The company offers various employment opportunities and encourages mobility between the offices. -Reasonable remuneration packages -Good working atmosphere -Good emphasis on ethics and code of conduct.

Cons

-Over the past 3 to 4 years, company attempted to improve its global structure and attempted more and more centralization of systems and procedures. This was carried out at a horrendous cost but only led to more bureaucracy, stifling rigidity in implementation and huge inefficiencies in the execution. -Multiple restructuring attempts based on whims and inexperience led to a more vertical organization and the creation of ineffective layers of management at a huge cost to the business. -Restructuring attempts continued to combine offices into larger entities leading to lack of focus, vague direct accountabilities and uncertain commitment to profitability at the core execution centres. -A horde of managers evolved that were big talkers but provided little or no support to the actual project delivery effort.

Pros

WP had some of the brightest minds in the industry and were good paymasters too. Very helpful colleagues, in general, and a fun place to work too.

Cons

With frequent changes in the management structure (more than a dozen times in last 3 years), the upper management is now really lost on what they should do to salvage the situation. Laying off en-masse is the only solution the 'bright' minds can think of.
