Pros

If you are traveling, the compensation is hard to beat

Cons

On the road, working 60-70 hour weeks is the unspoken expectation. You can be a key contributor and high performer, but will only be rewarded if you are outspoken and management likes you. Upper management takes responsibility for absolutely nothing and postures themselves to put all blame on site teams.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
