Pros

By the end, there were none. Promised cpd was given, but so full of management speak and waffle as to be worthless.

Cons

If you work in the European Theatre, 85% of fees go back to London as central costs. Or rather to the Partners pot which pays for the cost centres they keep centrally including their pension and equity pots. So no surprise that the salaries are low and there is always a reason why sadly we can't increase your salary at the moment

Humiliating environment and not for technically aspiring

Pros

I can't think of any except some senior leadership is very good. Hard to get in touch with them though due to the large size of the company and they are clustered in few offices as opposed to spread evenly.

Cons

Cranbury office has very bad environment, no technical help and they like to humiliate new employees. Specially, the sediment group leadership (APH) in Cranbury is WORST. Some other offices are ok but if you looking for remediation projects to work on- forget it unless you are in Newton office.

Don't know how to utilize their top employees.

Pros

Flexible in taking time off. On top of my 4 weeks vacation time, I was able to take unpaid leave for several weeks for personal reasons. Also they have a system in place where you can buy vacation time. Very relaxed environment, open door policy to speak to all levels of management.

Cons

They treat everyone the same, weather you work hard or slack off you get the same treatment and compensation. Made it difficult to move up the ladder as other people who started on same level hadn't progressed so they would not promote because it would "look" bad to the others.
