Pros

The company's good about things like exercise (lunch-time gym classes), tons of charity social events, maybe even too many. With offices all over the world, there's opps for travel. Many truly brilliant people work here, which contributes to the professional atmosphere. And people help each other. If you ask the right expert, he/she will share all their knowledge.

Cons

It's got a flattened hierarchy. To the point of a pancake. So you can grow technically, but very difficult to advance in the traditional sense. Bonuses and shares are a mystery. Job levels are peculiar (more secret flatness).

Pros

Exceptional project exposure across major U.S. transit, infrastructure, and energy pursuits — the portfolio and client roster are genuinely impressive and great for your professional brand The LTK Engineering Services acquisition brought in a strong, collaborative office culture that is noticeably more grounded and people-focused than the broader Hatch Ltd (Canadian entity) culture Strong brand recognition in the A/E/C space that opens doors with major public agencies

Cons

Hired under the Client Action Team structure, which led to significant instability — multiple management changes in a short period with little transparency or consistency Overlapping time zones and regional boundaries create constant coordination friction; the flat hierarchy sounds good on paper but breaks down quickly when accountability is unclear and no one owns decisions Zero flexibility on in-office requirements — no hybrid accommodation even when the nature of the work doesn't require it Promotions are not merit-based. Advancement appears tied to visibility metrics like road safety observations and office attendance rather than the quality or impact of your work — deeply frustrating for high performers
