The culture of corporate in the Gulf is constricting and does not provide much of an opportunity for growth to young professionals, Parsons is no exception.
Pros
Collabrative work culture
Cons
Little to no chance in career progression
Systematic work place, starting from recruitment to on-board process, and engagement at Project level.
I highly recommend prospective candidates to join Parsons

Pros
high level security and clean area
Cons
Very less Increments
good company , but salary is little bit low, base on the project we can get some overtime benefit, some time if project change salary is reduce base of client pay.
The top management treat us as number 1 asset of the company. I learned a lot from the online health, safety & environment training and management training every year. Top management is leading by good example. The hardest part of my job when an accident to one of my projects which i consumed a lot of time in finding the root cause of the accident. The enjoyable part of the job when the top management recognized our team when we completed our others without lost time accident.
Pros
Employees were so professional.

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.

I had a wonderful time with Parsons and wish to rejoin the company. I worked for three years on two different projects there and learnt a lot. I liked its working culture and management style.
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.

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.

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.

Not secure
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.
