Company Culture

Where Collaboration Leads To Innovation

We’re a company of thinkers, innovators, 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

“Parsons’ commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards is core to our culture and the reason for our success in delivering a better, safer and more connected world,” said Chuck Harrington, chief executive officer for Parsons. In 2020, Ethisphere recognized 132 companies across 21 countries and 51 industries. “Our 16,000 employees across the world embody our reputation for values and integrity. We are proud to be rewarded for this effort for the 11^th year in a row.”

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 work may take us. That’s why we feel an obligation to give back to the communities that have supported our success through the years.
