Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
There are too many employees that dont do their job & Bechtel makes it a standard to put their work on someone else without the pay. So you get punished for doing a great job.
Hard to get growth opportunities unless you want to go out to site or other countries by taking bigger responsibilities.

I feel that as a lead architect, my compensation should be better because i bring over 33 years of experience to Bechtel

Getting the right people into the right positions. Many managers now have no business managing other people.
Review from Operations Dept
Politics (both company or government) are too strong, vocal, and overpowering. If you don’t play along your career in leadership ranks is short-lived. The company used to care very much about employees and as a result there was great loyalty on both sides. New company polici
