      Current Employee, less than 1 year

      Great learning experience!

      16 Oct 2014 - Graduate Quantity Surveyor in Dublin, Dublin
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A great place to learn a great deal! Young dynamic workforce with great mentoring and a focus on professional development from the beginning. Great people to work with makes for a fun work environment. Company team building exercises are also great fun when organised! Direct exposure to some excellent projects both locally and globally!

      Cons

      Environment is very fast, long hours are almost expected (leaving on time seems rare). Starting salary is a bit lower than some other companies (but reviews occur every 6 months).

      Great Company

      3 Nov 2021 - Senior Engineering Manager in Tampa, FL
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is a large international firm with many diverse project types. Strong multidiscipline technical team and a great work environment. Great career growth potential with opportunities to diversify and grow different skill sets.

      Cons

      Its a large international firm so the bureaucracy is what you would expect it to be. Upper management does not communicate well with staff.

    5. 2.0
      Current Employee

      Individuals generally good to work with, but administration shows it doesn't care about employees regularly

      12 May 2021 - Noise Specialist in Providence, RI
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working on a wide variety of projects in scope and location, work includes large inter-disciplinary teams as well as focused groups - good collaboration all around. Field work comes in often and is well-supported in safety and financially

      Cons

      Administration shows often it doesn't care about employees, from removing annual raises in 2020 to shifting to a hotel desk work environment, encouraging employees to work from home without offering any equipment resources to do so (which, given the lack of raises, it would seem they can afford). Time sheet is due Friday 9:00 AM, which often leaves employees guessing at what they'll be working on - typically causes a scramble to fill out and submit time sheets before work on Friday

      Very Large Company

      17 Nov 2021 - Senior Architect in Denver, CO
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Diversity of people and projects. Opportunities to work in all parts of the world. Flexible work environment.

      Cons

      Lack of experienced project support (architects and engineers). Corporate culture sometimes gets in the way of executing projects. A lot of the senior leadership are either young and highly ambitious people but lack good leadership skills, experience and understanding or older, senior people who are overbearing and inflexible.

      Some business processes are challenging for a newcomer to figure out, but lots of resources and support available along the way.
