Pros

-Multinational company with offices all around the world serving the energy, resource, power and infrastructure sectors. The company offers various employment opportunities and encourages mobility between the offices. -Reasonable remuneration packages -Good working atmosphere -Good emphasis on ethics and code of conduct.

Cons

-Over the past 3 to 4 years, company attempted to improve its global structure and attempted more and more centralization of systems and procedures. This was carried out at a horrendous cost but only led to more bureaucracy, stifling rigidity in implementation and huge inefficiencies in the execution. -Multiple restructuring attempts based on whims and inexperience led to a more vertical organization and the creation of ineffective layers of management at a huge cost to the business. -Restructuring attempts continued to combine offices into larger entities leading to lack of focus, vague direct accountabilities and uncertain commitment to profitability at the core execution centres. -A horde of managers evolved that were big talkers but provided little or no support to the actual project delivery effort.

Pros

Great to get more experience in different areas

Cons

Completely project based. They don’t let you change on overhead even for 1 hr. It means if you can’t change on the project, they don’t pay you. So many people are full time but they don’t receive the full salary. No one tells you that when they want to hire you. There is no work/life balance
