Former Employee – worked at Parsons Corporation

Former Employee – worked at Parsons Corporation

Pros – good people and location in downtown Boston.

Cons – management does not seem to understand the proper substation engineering/design process, which results in people with limited substation design experience working on client substation projects... In the past year one electrical engineer, one senior engineer, and two senior designers have left the company...

Advice to Senior Management – please see above

– I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Parsons Corporation full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Benefits and salary are fairly competitive.

Cons – San Diego PTG management fosters a very hostile work environment by encouraging employees to bully and gossip about one another. PTG San Diego management operates to the complete contrary of the company's "Core Values".

PTG San Diego has evolved into a satellite location with their only purpose being to support projects won by other offices. On various occasions corporate managers stated that closure of the San Diego office has been seriously considered multiple times throughout the 4 years that i was there.

Overall, the company does not function as effectively as it potentially could.

Advice to Senior Management – Do not ignore your employees, otherwise they move on.

Former Employee – worked at Parsons Corporation full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Parsons has a good family atmosphere. Loved working with such a great group of people with the same high standards and pride as I possess. Great Benefits and the diversification of employees was cool. I miss working there.

Cons – Pay scale is a bit under the norm. Parsons did not hold up to reimbursement for schooling. Too much upper management over one roof. Not enough support from upper management.

Advice to Senior Management – Follow through with your open door policy. Keep your promises and stand strong on one of Stretegic goal (INTEGRITY). Most of all give recognition and credit to whom deserves it.

Former Employee – worked at Parsons Corporation full-time for more than a year

Pros – Good compensation and benefits (until a proposal comes out)

Cons – Proposals are 7 days a week schedule. There is no work/life balance when working on one. Company prides itself in working 24/7/ There is always a proposal emergency. Not very diverse. No career options for non-engineer, or non-technical backgrounds. Ridiculous process for completing a proposal, and new ideas are not encouraged. Fall in line, or get cut out. Not at all the job I thought I was accepting. And once I found an area I liked and could grown in, it wasn't funded for the next year and they began massive layoffs.

Advice to Senior Management – Get with the times and actually innovate. Use new technology. Create an environment that attracts and keeps new and top talent. After giving up weekends for a proposal for weeks on end, there should be way more compensation than just a congrats we won (insert contract name). Not worth missing out on your personal life for, or ruining your help sitting in a cubicle 7 days a week eating God awful takeout.
