Pros

-You can take your vacation at any time -Fair pay -Not too much (apparent) looking over the shoulder -gym and cafeteria on site

Cons

Where do I start... -Very little leadership... This is horrible, considering how big this organization is. -Highly incompetent people in highly influential positions (it takes the client pointing out a persons incompetence in order to get bad people off a project) -No annual review, or feedback of any sort... You dont know whether you are doing good, average, or poorly... -I cannot stress how unorganized the management is. -The politics... Its how the bad people stay where they are at.

Pros

Good for starting and ending a career in engineering — solid training and plenty of software available. Good benefits and WLB.

Cons

Most projects are PreFEED, so lots of generic work, and they tend to overhire for these projects. It’s hard to make it to the middle ranks here because of the overhiring and layoff on contract loss cycle. The 980 schedule is actually meant to be a 10-hr day, as they began to emphasize the importance of taking lunch. TOWP and sick days are lumped together and earned on an accrued basis, so vacation days are valuable in the beginning. You can be paid your vacation days at the end, too, when your salary is higher… the consequence is that people come in sick all the time.
