Pros

When the U.S. offices were part of Conestoga-Rovers & Associates (CRA), the company was a great place to work! I enjoyed working with the local partners for 6 years.

Cons

GHD banked heavily on CRA's oil/gas sector client revenue base when the two firms merged in 2015. When petroleum prices tanked in 2016, the "merger made in heaven" rapidly morphed into an all-out acquisition by GHD, and everything fell apart. The place is a sweat-shop geared to bleed junior- and mid-level staff dry. I'd never work there again, even if they begged.

Pros

Good local company and local culture. Fair pay for senior levels.

Cons

Undertakes too many changes in processes, business strategies, organizational structure, etc. at the same time and it is being done constantly. Pay is a bit sub-par for more junior level positions
