Pros
Great experience in working across mining, gas, power and infrastructure projects. People are great to work with - hard-working and dedicated engineers Opportunity to learn about project management and controls; and business development skills Remuneration and benefits ok. Highly successful company, particularly in the Power, Mining and Hydrocarbons spaces. Great opportunities to work overseas (if you work in Mining, Gas and Power projects)
Cons
Very poor communications between locations and within a location - it's a bit like dealing with another company! Silos within a location. Not much respect shown to experienced employees. Performance reviews are a total joke - they have no bearing on remuneration at all. You feel like a subcontractor working for a big company. The Company has no vision/mission statement - and no leadership to achieve the vision. Excessive focus on billable hours/chargeability - when the projects stop coming in, you're in trouble! Not enough training - there is an expectation on being hired that we automatically know how to manage projects and troublesome customers. Overly complex systems and procedures. Job security poor in a flat infrastructure market. The company is too big/grown too fast - you feel like a cog in the machinery. No attention paid to employee career development and growth.
