Pros

It is a top global company, so you get exposure to some good global opportunities. If you fit the aggressive culture, you will have a good opportunity for promotion.

Kontras

It is a very tough, performance management driven culture. Very formulaic (Read Jim Collins "Good to Great" and "10X" cultures, and you will have a good idea). Standardized delivery, along "factory" lines, run by KPIs, with little freedom to be creative, entrepreneurial or different. Few global systems to support, so much of the delivery is manual in nature. Very aggressive targets are set, sales, profit and cash, and constant performance review pressure applied to extract the maximum from all employees. Heaps of reporting upwards, and constant pressure daily to explain what you are doing, and why you haven't been able to achieve the aggressive targets for that day or week. Work/Life balance is difficult to achieve working for this company. Told to be "10X" and that is what matters. Employee welfare appears secondary, and everything seems to be done for a short term return. If you do decide to join, ensure you negotiate to maximize your base pay, and don't rely on any bonus scheme, as budgets are set with aggressive targets, and it is difficult to achieve any bonus pay unless you have been lucky to have a "10X" year.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Kontras

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
