Pros
Best professional experience in Canada
Cons
None
Poor management and recruiting
Apprentice Pipefitter (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 23 July 2018
They easily black list you from ever regaining work just because you take a few days off for being sick when you come back to work they lay you off. Then when you reapply for work they won't rehire you. They judge you from the past other than work experience. Wages and benefits are good.
Pros
Wages and benefits
Cons
Not recognizing former employees for there work experience and ability to work
Great company to work with

WorleyParsons Markham Office
Project Information Manager (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 12 July 2018
Not a bad place if you are an engineer. Not a great place if you are in IT. Probably pretty average work environment. I would return, but only as a transition to somewhere else.
Pros
Best coffee machine I've ever drank from.
Cons
Not much upward mobility opportunities for IT in Markham
They like social people, not professional people
Principle Engineer (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 25 June 2018
This company has the talent to identify good engineers and laid them off. It is full of social people instead of professional people. There's no perfect company, but this company in deed developed kind of culture in a very different way from to be professional.
I loved working with Worley throughout
Sr. Mechanical Engineer (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 12 June 2018
It was the most enjoyable learning experience of my professional life. Typically everyone is mutually very helpful and work culture is excellent.
Good management supportive and encouraging to engineers whether young or old. Also providing lots of learning opportunities and continuous training.
In nut shell I liked Worley too much without any hiccups and did not find any hardest part in job to describe.
I enjoyed all along, so no complaints except they let go people like me due to sudden downturn in the engineering sector.

Enjoyed working within my individual group
Piping Engineer (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 15 May 2018
Enjoyed working within my individual group. I had opportunity to grow professionally in my career and had great co-workers who were supportive. I also received several wage increases.
Pros
good co-workers, good wages
Cons
layoff with the O&G downturn
great field staff
Water Resources Technician (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 12 May 2018
I loved my job when i worked at this company but i have realized that loyalty to this company holds no value. If the companies profits do not increase then letting go of valuable employees is done with no regard.
Pros
safety is held in high regard
Cons
business development poorly managed
Great company, hard times
iM Support Technician II (Former Employee) – St. John's, NL – 4 May 2018
Great company, met a lot of amazing people.
Unfortunately during hard times, management was disorganized, and employees were asked to work multiple roles when staff were laid off or terminated. No pay raise for years, even when taking on extra work or a promotion. Also took away a lot of benefits. Helpful suggestions were never taken serious or even acknowledged.
Company did what was needed to survive during hard times, hopefully it has bounced back.

A company with a focus on staff who socialize with the right people rather than produce anything useful.
Engineering (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 30 April 2018
A company which is focused on things other than client requirements. Internally like a lot of other companies the focus is on diversity, gender equality, equal opportunity etc. This focus erodes competiveness.
Good place to work for

Good place to work for. Management is proactive in providing opportunities for advancement. Got along well with supervisors, management and co-workers.
