Vantaggi
GHD has some very good technical people. As an engineer or other technical professional, there are opportunities to work with good people that are highly dedicated to their professions.
Svantaggi
One would expect that GHD being a multi-disciplinary organisation would have strengths in delivering multi-disciplinary complex projects globally. In my experience I found this not to be the case. The business operates as scores of separate service groups and business groups. The co-ordination occurs between these business groups and its ability to manage and deliver multi-disciplinary projects is limited. The focus on delivery to clients is budget. If this means delivering a product of lower than expected quality, then delivering to budget remains paramount. GHD's work order book has been declining in the Australia market as competitors are delivering beyond their clients expectations. GHD continue to deliver mediocre products at best. If you are an employee and your utilisation is below 60 per cent. Find another job, as you will be targeted for redundancy. Redundancy can happen anytime, anywhere to anyone at GHD in this current market. Also if you are a business that has been acquired by GHD, don't expect the transition to be a smooth one,
