Pros

I am sorry but i cant think of anything

Cons

HR continue to lie with you on everything. Since Worley took over Jacobs ECR business portion, there hasnt been a single positive thing that we have seen doing for its employees. No salary increase since last 4 years. Promotion without any increase Company wants you to use your mobile phone, your own internet and sometimes buy stuff from your own pocket. They have let go of all IT people here in Houston area and every time if you have issues with the computer you call from ur personal phone to some IT contractor in south Africa to fix your computer issues. Every other year, some brilliant minds in management come up with new software and make the project teams to use it regardless of whether it is making sense or not. We used to work with blue beam which was a brilliant software for marking up the engineering drawings but now we are told company is no longer to use the BB cause its expensive. They have some of the worst doc management systems that they use like Aconex which is useless. Company thinks that Aconex is a replacement of Bluebeam which is not true.

Pros

Massive Project Scale: Worley handles multibillion dollar capital projects. If you want exposure to massive EPC work, this is the place. You get to lead complex, large scale infrastructure and energy developments that actually move the needle globally. Technical Bench Strength: As a PM, you are only as good as your technical team. Worley has a incredibly deep roster of subject matter experts across civil, structural, mechanical, and piping disciplines. You will have serious engineering talent backing up your project delivery. The Energy Pivot: They are heavily transitioning toward sustainability and green energy infrastructure. It is a fantastic place to build your resume in sustainable engineering while still utilizing traditional oil and gas, offshore, or pipeline expertise. Global Mobility: Because they operate worldwide, there is excellent opportunity to travel or relocate for different assignments if that is something you want to pursue. Structured Delivery Systems: They have highly mature stage gate delivery processes. You are never flying blind; they have the rigorous systems in place to manage risk, procurement, environmental compliance, and contract administration effectively.

Cons

The Project Cycle Risk: Because Worley operates as a massive EPC firm, your job security is often directly tied to your current billable project. When a large scale project winds down, you need to have your next landing spot already lined up. If the company pipeline is dry, you can end up on the bench, and prolonged bench time always carries the risk of layoffs. The Constant Hustle for the Next Win: To avoid that bench time and ensure seamless work for their teams when a project ends, project managers and leadership have to be incredibly aggressive with proposals and bidding. It creates a high pressure environment where you are often executing your current massive project while simultaneously burning the midnight oil to win the next contract just to keep your engineers and staff utilized.

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
