Pros

Global company = potential variety of projects and experience for environmental engineer professionals. Many people stay, so they must be doing something right.

Cons

Partner-centric culture (read: "if you're not a partner, you're JUST support staff), and I saw that attitude extended even toward environmental engineer professionals. Do as you're told. This said, exceptions exist (though, through social media networking sites, I've seen many of them leave the company since I have). Admittedly, I joined ERM from an organization that was MUCH more collaborative, creative, encouraging, and growth-oriented, so the transition to what felt like an oppressive culture was particularly difficult for me. Low salary scale.

Pros

Interesting projects, flexible work hours, ability to pivot to new disciplines and teams

Cons

Employees are getting squeezed by increasingly difficult metrics, with less compensation, less work won because rates are now set so high. Less and less investment in employees through benefits and upskilling. Managers are spread so thin they can’t give time to their team.
