Pros

1. Large engineering firm. If you're looking to get certified (engineer or technologist) you'll get the experience to get that certification. Good company for a young engineer/technologist looking to get experience. 2. If you're an unmotivated individual employee, you will thrive here. Generally, they want "yes" people to do their menial chargeable work. Enjoy spending 8 hours a day collecting a pay check? WorleyParsons is for you. 3. Salaries aren't bad as they do follow the APEGGA salary surveys. However, during the downturn, the majority of the employees took pay cuts while the head of the Canadian entity got a 16% increase in salary.

Cons

If you do decide to work here, go into the company with a set of goals of what you want out of the company. 1. They do not care for their people. Though it's a "differentiator" in their corporate fluff statements, they do not exhibit it at all. 2. Money is everything to them. Changeability is everything. If you are useless to them in any way, they will let you go. Since changeability is everything, any job that one competent employee could do, would be split between three employees for the sake of changeability. 3. Innovation is not required. Why do things quicker when clients will pay for the slower method? 4. They provide "value" engineering, NOT "value-added" engineering. What does that mean? Old computers and dirty offices. 5. Middle management is useless. Most of them are good engineers but they are poor managers.
