Pros

There are many disciplines to gain experience in. The compensation is high, but so is the demand. It’s a great place to learn new fields of engineering and construction, with a supportive company that takes care of its employees.

Cons

It is difficult to move into higher or management positions without a strong network within the company. Certificates and licenses have little impact on promotions, and external experience is not considered a key factor. At Bechtel, years of internal experience carry more weight than advanced degrees, certifications, or achievements earned outside the company.

Pros

Working at a top tier company Some opportunity for travel to major project sites Teaches you discipline Friendly staff If you make good connections you can transfer to other teams

Cons

You are pretty disconnected from the rest of the company as the government affairs team is quite small. Not much freedom, and there can be a lot of downtime.
