Burns & McDonnell Houston
I recently received an offer from Burns & McDonnell. I currently work at Bechtel, where I have a hybrid schedule and work from home two days a week.
I have a few questions for those working in the Houston office:
For those who commute, especially from the Cypress area, does the daily commute eventually lead to burnout? If not, what has helped you manage it?
My offer states that I can work from home up to 30 days per year at my discretion. In practice, is it generally acceptable to use those days whenever needed, or is there an expectation that they should be used sparingly?
Does overall cash compensation (salary, bonuses, promotions, etc.) tend to increase based on individual performance and contributions? I consider myself hardworking and driven, but I’ve experienced situations in the past where promotions were delayed despite strong performance.
I would really appreciate any insight or experiences you’re willing to share. Thank you!
