Pros

Well established organisation, have some specific good focus in the industry and a very good graduate development and leadership programme, too often get out of their depth in the scale of the projects, especially in the Middle East.

Kontras

Too big to have one vision and yet too small to properly complete with others in their sector, cannot be niche with their scale. Do not seem to have really cracked the markets outside of the UK and perhaps the Middle East, well established does not mean that the vision is clear. Still a massive schism between Atkins and F&G. The senior team has flashes of brilliance, but an awareness of the inner workings of Atkins is much more useful than an awareness of the external market meaning that it is hard to see where Atkins fits any more

Pros

Job and a paycheck but in a house of cards.

Wow, be careful! Atkins North America was acquired when Atkins in London bought a notorious US engineering based in Florida, PBS&J (Post, Buckley, Shuh and Jernigan). I didn't do enough research when hired and found out too late I was working for a company that has been prosecuted multiple times for serious illegalities, and some of the executives who participated but escaped prosecution are still there! PBS&J has been indicted for bribing government officials, illegal campaign contributions, and was a private company put on the chopping blocks to sell for being so poorly managed when several of the employees embezzled millions upon millions of dollars. As recent as 2016 the company was struggling financially because of legal costs and fines to the extent the focus became finishing out existing contracts rather than procuring new ones...an indicator they do not want new business and are likely to chop off the US engineering wing and spin those employees out to another company. Do your research before accepting a job there, the good old boy network that didn't previously get caught or prosecuted in the illegalities is still working there, and they haven't changed much in being secretive about what they are doing!! Get everything in writing as they are all about the bait and switch.
