WorleyParsons Employer Reviews

One of my worst emplyment experiences was working in the Bellaire office.

Professionally speaking, WorleyParsons is a great place to grow with a growing company. If one is in a support role, a support role is all one will ever have. The supervisors tend to favor a few (which, I guess is normal in most companies) and does not stand behind their employees. The Human Resources department has a lot to be desired as they are unorganized – more... and are too busy covering their tracks as opposed to employee friendly.

WorleyParsons has great benefits and from a corporate view does try to offer their employees an enjoyable work environment (i.e., flex hours, 4-10 work schedule). From a local viewpoint, they are still stuck in the "80s - we've always done it like this" mentality. – less

Good people mostly, great benefits, not so great management. Dept heads don't care about you.

Generally very good office accommodations.
Very good work Colleges
Insufficient diversification of work outside of the mining industry
The hardest part was lack of the job security

-a tipical day at work would be having to work on your projrct and as a cost controller having to balance all the required PCS, under going it with line managers and see if the project is a logical one interms of costs or is it making profit or a loss.
-as a student i have learned to put the theory practiacal and it was not easy, having to deal with – more... the real life costs and allocation of money to certain areas have been the best part and having to actaully underweigh if a project will be a successful one or not.
-management coordinates its daily tasks well and interacts with everyone.
-fun loving and caring, supportive and always on the roll to help one another.
-having to handle one project as an individual and working with different systems and managing numbers.
-its what i do at skul,always have and its easy to understand, we work with very smart systems, u dnt have to do everything. – less

I gained and enhanced experience using Caddie17, AutoCAD12 and Civil3D (3 Months) in the drafting of municipal services, which include water and sewer reticulation as well as street and storm water networks of new township developments. I am also responsible for preliminary and detailed design drawings for municipal services as well as the preparation – more... of construction drawings. Update filing system, keep record of drawings and plotting of drawings.
My co-workers are very helpfull and we work well together as a team.
The hardest part of my job was when they introduced AutoCAD to me in 2010. I worked since 1987 on Caddie and the change was nerve-racking, but I manage to overcome that fear. I was exposed to Civil3D for the past 3 months and that was a great challenge
The most enjoyable part of my job is when I finished a project a see the results. – less

Despite having no coach or mentor in the line of work I was employed to do, most of the people I had to work with were quite pleasant and accommodating. What I learned however is to be careful whom you choose to trust. The hardest part of the job was to stay positive, despite all the obstacles but the best was the success I achieved despite the challenges. – more... Some management need to review the importance of people skills as they have none – less

If management knows your capabilities then everything (every project) gets thrown in your lap no matter what. Very stressful. No guidance for policies or procedures. No manual for technical specifications.

look at the review this is telling you that they have a good work ethic and are a great organization to work with, the hardest part being having to work ( that is because i am poor) the other the most enjoyable is the rate of pay and bonus payments that they pay there workers ( pay dollars you will get controllers pay peanuts you get monkeys)

Project engineers and some managers hired directly out of school. Fractured and conflicting lines of management.

Twice as many engineers as needed, lots of deadwood, had a proceedure for everything except getting it out the door.

Typical days are minimum 10 hours and range in workload according to project demands. I learned more in the first 5 months than I thought possible thanks to a fantastic project team and project leaders. Co-workers are usually very helpful and cohesive.

I would highly recomend this company to anyone searching for employment in this related field. Very nice atmosphere to work in.

I worked at WP as HR coordinator and recruiter, it was very interesting project, but project based work is not so good, it will be over some day...

A typical day for me would be to come in and check emails for new invoices, updates or important information from vendors or inter-company personnel. Review invoices and check for accuracy, payment detail and currency type. Scan invoices and upload images. Key invoices in Oracle and attach images for the designated persons to approve for payment. The – more... challenging part of my job is "chasing coding" which means to contact project managers for the correct coding so that invoices can be keyed for payment. I enjoy the people that I work with, and I love the work load because there is never boredom or down time. – less

You don't want to work here. This place has earned a bad reputation for a reason. In my experience favoritism and gender discrimination abound. Turn-over is always high because the managers think they're smarter than they really are and instead of getting to know their people, interact with them via checklists and forms. You have managers with multiple – more... HR complaints against them still walking around referring to themselves as "leaders" - it would be laughable if it wasn't so sad. – less
