I worked at SNC-Lavalin

Pros – The compensation is good. They are a large company with opportunities around the world.

Cons – They dont give you a feeling of security. When the job is over you are cut loose and they begin the process of finding personel for the next job from scratch. This seems to waste time.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't let your talent slip away at the end of the project. A dedicated team should be working on placement. Locally and abroad. Leting you know what projects are coming up and giving current employees with a proven track record the inside track on the next project.
