"The experience that I gained by working in Iraq for four years was life-changing. Living and working in Iraq was at times very hard and the tools sparse, but the camaraderie that came from the shared experience made it all worth it. URS/LSI did a great job of taking care of everyone and I am very thankful for the opportunity."

Working at URS in Austin, TX: 3 Employee Reviews

URS Employee

"This company has the most outdated and antiquated technology for a $12 billion entity. Upper management is good and the boots on the ground are GREAT! The layer that weighs down even the most mundane actions or process is middle management, which is riddled with in-fighting, back biting, gossip and self interests."
