Good company care about employees
Pipefitter (Former Employee) - Cameron, LA - July 31, 2022
Overall a good company to work for. When time off was needed for personal reasons, they gladly accommodated my needed time off, and made sure my position was not filled. I was able to return to work like I hadn't missed any time at all.

Good work experience, but management leadership has sunk to low levels.
Construction Manager (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - May 20, 2022
Great projects, but as the work booked decreased the company culture tanked to the lowest levels during my 30 year career. The current management team does not practice what they promote. In a family company it is key to be part of the family, if you want to advance.
Pros
You want to travel - work here.
Cons
Family company, management treats people poorly, and you will travel all the time.

professional and challanging.
Assistant Superintendent, superintendent, and general superintendent. (Former Employee) - Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan - May 10, 2022
This is the top end of Construction/ Construction Management companies. You will find projects so varied and challanging, staffed with the best professionals in the field. Its not a job. Its a career. If you're hired your lucky and good. Enjoy the ride.
Pros
great money, great projects, good management, job security
Cons
never had a problem

Company cares only for money, and not the safety or well being of employees
Engineer and Responsible Engineer (Former Employee) - Reston, VA - May 3, 2022
- Only persons who agree with management are respected, even when management recognizes they were wrong in the first place. - Management regularly puts down workers, and upper management does nothing to stop this. - Good ol' boys club. Only bootlickers get ahead

Flexibility is the key for lasting and advancing at Bechtel. Politics also plays a role in getting up the ladder faster than the average.
Engineering Group Supervisor (Former Employee) - Domestic and international - May 2, 2022
It’s a conglomerate. So, you could be working for different bosses through the years. With every new boss, you have to prove yourself all over again, and again. However, for engineers, it’s a great company to work for and acquiring a wealth of experience in the engineering and construction of multi billion dollars projects all over the world. The company has several different specialized business units: Infrastructures, power, oil & gas, mining, etc. When one business unit is not doing well because of a global economic setback, you can easily find an opportunity with another business unit within Bechtel.

Worst company to work for, favoritism all over
Sr. Structural Engineer (Former Employee) - Maryland - April 10, 2022
Management stinks, leaders favor employees based on their race and color. Take advantage of employees’ visa status. No opportunity for growth for people of color.

Overall a decent company to work for if you are in the right circle
Construction Field Engineer III (Former Employee) - Waynesboro, GA - March 25, 2022
I reported several issues including safety to HR and the head manager for the site and my claims were dismissed. HR is not here for the employees, they are there to protect the company. One of the first things they tell you during orientation is retaliation is not tolerated here which is false. My coworkers were very nice but management and the people who are suppose to help you succeed are not in your corner if you don't subscribe to their view of things and you can be blackballed quickly because of it.
Pros
Plenty of hours, benefits, good coworkers
Cons
Management, Hr, retaliation for reporting issues

The best Engineering and construction in the world
FWI / NDT Coordinator (Former Employee) - Corpus Christi, TX - March 22, 2022
Bechtel is the most goal oriented company i have ever worked with! The goals are team selected from every level, craft, from start to finished. All plans are addressed and explained no matter what! Team work is strong not only within the individual departments or crafts. Individual craft goals are addressed so the next crafts can achieve their goals. Items are not completed but instead decisions with the next craft to ensure any bottle necks in the progression of the project are not an issue. Bechtel is truly the company in my opinion were any Engineer, craft (aka- Ironworker, pipe welders/fitters, carpenters, and all other crafts will be respected by any other companies when seen on your resume.
