Big organization
The biggest problem is the 6 days / week.
All other aspects of work are satisfactory. The cooperation with most employees of the company is very good. The hardest part of work is that the client's top management constantly asks more things so it is very difficult to plan properly the works.

Not fair women are prefered
My boss was not polite
There was discrimination of treatment between nationalities, I felt that as mediterranean.
Parsons fired me to replace a lady instead of me which not fair.

Parsons International is one of the best consulting company in the World being in the construction industry long time ago. It has projects in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, South and North America, and other places where their expertise are needed. Parsons International engaged in various development such as in roads, bridges, and highway construction; micro-tunneling for sewer and water lines; oil and gas; airports and terminals; and other horizontal and vertical projects.
Parsons International is very much concerned about the safety of its employees, contractors and sub-contractors, the public, especially the environments. Management is excellent especially in paying salaries on time. For my more than 5 years in the company, I did not experience a late salary but always on time or ahead.

Very professional colleague, very family oriented, A class when it comes to Safety, plus a lot of Sports activities to join to.
The day to day you will regularly encounter at work is a high demand for quality and standard.
Having said that, you will learn a lot from it in due course of time that is very beneficial to your career growth.
Management treats their employees with a proper decorum that you will feel like you are as important to them.
Colleagues highly follow what is in our Company protocol towards proper ethics regardless of your position, culture, and religion.
Basically, the hardest part of the job is the stage where you are in your adjustment period. About the work itself, I could say the most difficult task is the easy task but it becomes difficult only because you are overwhelmed by it like everything are urgent.
The most enjoyable yet fulfilling feelings are the challenges and the fulfillment of your goals and a bunch of lessons learned and the people who help you to be a better and more mature individual in your career.

Work in Qatar with Parsons for very demanding client
Work in Doha Qatar on Mega Projects building Lusail City . Extremely busy schedule and worked hard to meet set deadlines .
The hardest part was to coordinate among the construction activities and keep the project progressing in very harsh weather.

Pros
Big Name
Cons
Not secure
Excellent work environment to work
It was my honor to be part of the Doha Metro Project in State of Qatar since June 2015 to present. Have learned the design stage, Construction, Testing and Commissioning and now we are in stage of Handover. Being in this project I learned and advanced my skills in many aspects as far as technical.
The most enjoyable part of the day is when we are hit with many urgent submissions and they all have to be submitted at certain time and there is no delays from our end.
Management is highly motivated to include the co-workers.

Parsons was a Great Company but not in QATAR
After desigion to leave and going back to my country I got a excellent offer for another Company in Qatar for double salary, but Parsons did not allowed and did not give me NOC. This was not as per human wrights. Also the Program Director was working only for his benefits, not for Parsons itself.
Great Company
Good company to work for. Great employee's, and management. Great potential to grow with the company, and good benefits. Great medical and vacation package
disorganised
very disorgansed company to work for.
was based in the qatar and was working for client who could not make decisions immediately when needed.
Pay was more than UK but didnt meet cost of living out in qatar as was expensive to live there.
due to relocating the Allowance for housing was ridiculous and could only afford somewhere about 2 hours away.
had to use majority of salary to pay for living expenses.
working 6am until 6pm
