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.

Relaxing environment, lots of support
Cons
Reorganization during hard times took a lot away from employees
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
Senior Instrumentation and Controls Engineer (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 24 April 2018
Good place to work for. Management is proactive in providing opportunities for advancement. Got along well with supervisors, management and co-workers.
A well oiled monster of a machine
Subcontractor, Journeyman B Pressure Rig Welder (Former Employee) – Blackfalds, AB – 20 April 2018
Everything flows smoothly and efficiently. I learned to fit pipe extremely well due to the sheer volume. Management was very professional. I miss it..
Pros
Long Hours/ Overtime
Cons
Work ourselves out of a job sometimes
Senior Piping Designer - Checker
Senior Piping Designer (Former Employee) – Edmonton, Alberta – 11 April 2018
Worked on brownfield engineering projects for Shell Canada Ltd and Syncrude Canada Ltd. Both plants are heavy oil upgrading facilities which upgraded raw bitumen to synthetic crude oil.
Pros
Lots of variety and complexity in the project work.
Average EPC Company
Engineer (Former Employee) – Toronto, Canada – 11 April 2018
WorleyParsons is an okay company to work for. It all depends on what experience you have and what projects you are working on. I joined during an upswing, which lasted about a year. Once the major project ended, things spiraled down quickly and heads started to roll.
Would Not Recommend
Estimator (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 3 April 2018
Working there was a challenge. There is one guy who makes decisions and everyone else dances to his tune. No real opportunity to grow. Glad I don't work there any more and would not recommend it to anyone else.
Pros
It's a ob
Cons
Everything
Not a good place to Work
QC Inspector (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 20 March 2018
This place wasn't good at all, specially in terms of squeezing people to multiple project. You will sign up with the lower rate and job description on hire form, but will ending up your doing everything. Management in this yard doesn't recognize people who are very dedicated and pleasant with their job and the success contributed in this yard. Not recommendable in terms of long term or job security.
Good company with potential to become great again.
SENIOR PROJECT CONTROL LEAD (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 13 March 2018
Days are packed and busy as a project life should be.
Some really great people work within the organization. Some of their main clients are wonderful to work with as well.
Volunteering efforts are embraced as well as family/life/work balance.
Get to know the people in management, they are open door policy people and want to know you. This helps with advancement and knowing what is coming next for projects.
Comprehensive Benefits and a good HR group.
It's expected to reach further do more, do more which compromises the work/life balance. Learn to say no but still deliver quality with efficiency.
