Bechtel Reviews

Pros

Long history - great company and great people.

Cons

Slow to make policy changes and stuck in the idea you have to be with the company so many years before you can be promoted

Pros

They pay enough to keep you there, but that means you can easily be replaced because others want good pay. So they don't fix issues they just keep rotating trainees.

Cons

They market safety standards then coerce employees to break them under the table. They promised work for 4 years and lost the contract in months. The reasons they failed and had to let go of people in Vegas is purely because management always sweeping all the dozens of issues and improvements the people on the field would see and try to prevent. They use subsidiary companies that are theirs as fall guys, and it is with that neglectful business practice that they cause a sense of forgotten step-child atmosphere to whole markets and industries they run. They have a lack of base training or people skills that causes foreman and super intendants to only know either how to lead or how to work, not both. They outwardly promote workmanship and advertise care and safety however always set deadlines that could not be met with the quality of tools provided. Then when you are working with 20 year old hand me downs 300ft in the air and the barest equipment needed to get the job done they blame it on the leads, tower hands and green-hands? This isn't limited to equipment, but also work permits, documentation and other necessary things to get the job completed in a timely manner. Overall a joke in a beautiful packaging. If they were 1/4 the company they outwardly appear to be they could pass as okay. Sad story.
