Pros

Large firm with access to project opportunities worldwide if you are in the right division. Decent health benefits. For environmental scientists in the large business unit catering to provate industry, most seem somewhat happy with sole source work.

Cons

This firm is pretty much a large holding company. They buy companies at a rapid rate and don't integrate them well. There is not an overarching system to link people and service offerings, there is no communication between business units, morale is low, and everything is about the bottom line. Upper management is completely disconnected. The Water Division is what once was Malcolm Pirnie, but the culture is completely different from what Pirnie once was and the Pirnie people are leaving at an alarming rate.

Pros

Great ability to share knowledge across the company between different offices and exposure to excellent and exciting projects which can help boost your career.

Cons

Communication from executive management was felt to be patronising amongst employees. Opportunities for professional development, aside from the important exposure to great projects, such as courses and trainings, was zero.
