Busy environment with competitive pay and advancement opportunities - Project Manager Sargent & Lundy Employee Review

Leadership has been incredible in my short time here. Room to grow

Nothing that has reared its head

I had to take short-term disability for 3 months, and was expecting to go into long-term but that wasn't necessary. S&L HR (and other members of leadership) were able to help me navigate sensitive situations and I was able to seek the help I needed. The main pro is the extremely diverse workload. Lots of exposure to various engineering projects across the industry as well as lots of expertise to draw on and learn from. Really excellent place to start an engineering career. Compensation is fair. Benefits are solid. Ability to stash OT as PTO is a surprisingly useful perk.

The main con is this is still a very capitalist company. You are exploited for you labor like anywhere else. I'm not underpaid, nor am I well-paid. PTO is light, especially as a new employee. Work levels are inconsistent (which is a product of the industry and business model). Some weeks/months are insanely busy and you'll pretty much have to work weekends to stay on top of things. Other times, the work is much more manageable.
