Pros

The company itself was very good with lots of good benefits. Many staff there were really good to work alongside.

Cons

Bad management, gave promotions to the wrong people, terrible HR department that behave very unprofessionally and bad at their jobs. A lot of senior staff to bully others and have little respect for younger staff- management are aware of this, and sometimes part of the problem. You get targeted if you stand up for yourself.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
