Company Culture
Where Collaboration Leads to Innovation
We’re a company of innovators, builders, and protectors. Our people don’t just generate big ideas—they bring them to life. We operate in a variety of services and markets, which means that, although we’re one company, there are many possibilities for placement, growth, and development throughout your career, not to mention opportunities for flexibility and optimizing your work-life balance. With projects and offices around the world, the potential for working with interesting people on exciting jobs is nearly limitless.
In such a diverse and cosmopolitan organization, you might think it would be tough to find a unifying thread that defines our culture, but it’s actually very simple. Our culture is one of collaboration. We work together on the world’s most complex problems, and we thrive on the satisfaction that comes with helping our clients through difficult challenges. If you think you’d like to contribute to a team that creates enduring solutions to deliver a better world, you’ll love it here.
Committed to Integrity
"We are honored to once again be named by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies,” said Chuck Harrington, Parsons’ Chairman and CEO. In 2018, Ethisphere – a global leader in defining and advancing ethical business standards and practices – recognized 135 honorees spanning 23 countries and 57 industries. “Parsons couldn’t have earned this incredible honor for 9 consecutive years without the tireless efforts of our 14,000 employees who make ethical decisions in their work each day."
Parsons Gives Back
As part of our Parsons Gives Back Program, we continually evaluate our community’s ever-changing needs, providing support to educational, cultural, and civic organizations in the communities where our employees live and work. Charitable contributions, in-kind donations, and volunteerism directly correlate with improving the quality of life while making the world a better place.
Our Values
Our core values are more than just talking points—they’re the guiding principles by which we do business. Safety, quality, integrity, diversity, innovation, and sustainability look good on paper, but they look even better in practice.
Inclusion & Diversity
A culture of acceptance is inherently good, and it makes good business sense. Everybody has an equal voice because more diversity and more inclusion drive higher morale and more innovation.
Changing the World Together
We pride ourselves on being a global firm with local roots wherever our projects may take us. That’s why we feel an obligation to give back to the communities that have supported our success through the years.
