Pros

Decent pay for a natural resources engineer

Cons

This company has absolutely no positive culture in any way. Everything you hear about large companies treating you like "just another number" could not be more true for WSP. The only thing they care about is you working beyond 40 hours. In their "Marketing 101" seminar, we were literally told that their number one key to being good at earning new business is to "do it on your own time and your own dollar." We were also told that "you're either a winner or a whiner" with the latter being true if you're not willing to sell business on your own time beyond 40 hours. If you need a paycheck, go for it. Just don't expect good benefits on treatment like a real human being.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
