Pros

1) Good work life balance 2) No hidden components in salary 3) good for contract people

Cons

1) planning is worst. Even if you are permanent they will lay you off at any time if you are not known to the top management. 2) they will hire new people with so many lay off subsequently happening . So you will be always in line of fire even if you are top performer. Because you never know whom they are going to fire. 3) you will be given a good rating on end of year apparaisal and next week you will be asked to leave saying that there are no jobs and more extra ordinary performers. 4) contracts will never be extended most cases. So if you don't have a job at all then join Bechtel.
