Pros

There are many opportunities to learn outside your day-to-day responsibilities. Management is generally understanding and willing to work with people as people rather than numbers.

Cons

It's unstable. We haven't sold a lot of jobs in the last several years, so the parking lot keeps on getting emptier. Employees are frustrated. Upper management is fixated on revolution (which naturally goes nowhere) when we need evolution. The lip-service to new approaches is there, but the execution is lacking. There is no pipeline, or if there is it's too easy to fall off. There is zero budget for training.

Pros

Good for starting and ending a career in engineering — solid training and plenty of software available. Good benefits and WLB.

Cons

Most projects are PreFEED, so lots of generic work, and they tend to overhire for these projects. It’s hard to make it to the middle ranks here because of the overhiring and layoff on contract loss cycle. The 980 schedule is actually meant to be a 10-hr day, as they began to emphasize the importance of taking lunch. TOWP and sick days are lumped together and earned on an accrued basis, so vacation days are valuable in the beginning. You can be paid your vacation days at the end, too, when your salary is higher… the consequence is that people come in sick all the time.
