Pros

Work in big global projects Lots of internal company events One of the best work-life balance I've experienced in my career (only if you're lucky with your lead and manager) Good seniors in general. Most of them are willing to be mentors and will help and guide you. Easy communication and employees are generally kind. Good place to build your resume Competitive salary compared to other similar companies

Cons

Management (performance, favoritism and employee relations) No job security even if you're a regular employee. Can let you go without prior notice depending on the overall company performance and global economy. Slow promotion

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.
