            Business Outlook

            Pros

            Power gives you all the tools to be great at your job whether its training courses, support from the office (BIM, 4D scheduling, a well rounded and large QA/QC department) or simply reaching out to others within the company. Starting with PE's, Power's curriculum allows for everyone to be working on a level playing field and the expectations of you as an employee are perfectly clear. Power has a simple philosophy, do the right thing and build relationships at all levels. I've never felt I was in a bad position and my managers/executives have always supported my decisions when sticking to these principles. This is why Power is so successful. Project to project Power is consistent in performance and ethics. What you see is what you get.

            Cons

            They don't pay top dollar. You are rewarded with job security even in the worst of times and you get the opportunity to work on jobs that few other companies can perform.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
