Pros

The staff / my colleagues are excellent!

Cons

My company was acquired by WSP and I thought a perk of working for one of the world's biggest professional services firms would mean improved benefits. NOPE. WSP in the U.S. does not offer any health insurance plans that include coverage prior to meeting a deductible. This means that I need to forfeit necessary health services - like therapy and physical therapy - that I cannot afford. These services were a mere $25 copay with my prior insurance and will now cost me up to $1500 per session with WSP's insurance (before meeting my deductible - which will take some time to do). A firm this big should be able to provide better benefits for their staff and this blatant disregard for employee well-being makes me wonder where their money is really going. At the very least, it shows me they really don't care about their staff at all.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
