Pros

- Large scale projects - Good work/life balance.

Cons

-Horrible company culture, its a toxic environment to work in. People in this office spend more time managing office politics than doing their actual work. You name it, I've seen it here ; the gossip hounds, the credit thief, the a** kissers, the saboteurs. Everything runs by favouritism, which means only the a** kissers keep their jobs. The company is split into factions and you have to chose camps. - Leadership has no vision and is reactive to the economical situation. Your job here is never secure because every few years the office has a major dry spell and there are always major lay offs. Loyalty to this company is not rewarded (people working here for 20+ years are easily laid off). - This company is all about the bottom line. People are not valued. - Projectized organisation matrix - project managers have way too much power and they abuse it to serve their own interests. - No collaborative work culture. Everyone is in it for themselves.
