Pros

Upper management communication to mid-level managers is consistent and open. Salary rates and benefits are very competetive.

Cons

Bought out by KBR. The transition from privately held to public is a real eye-opening experience.

Pros

Good people, good location and the opportunities are moderate. It's just a contract company after all so do not expect alot.

Cons

Some people don't know you and can be very disrespectful but then we all have our issues so it is understandable.

Pros

Large company, mobility to various projects on different continents, possibility for advancement, decent relocation packages, resume builder, work on iconic projects

Cons

Work hours are brutal and many times you're pay is capped at 40 to 60 hours. Depending upon the group you're in, you may not be able to take your paid vacation, loopholes in host country regulations are used to not properly pay overtime or end of service
