Pros

I have worked at a number of other firms prior to arriving at Structurepoint, and this team is the best overall group I have been a part of, by far. Within the Investigative Group, not only do we have a tight-knit group of professionals that support each other on projects (whether inter-office or intra-office) or personal matters, day-to-day our team gets to work on a variety of cool projects large and small. Our clients routinely seek us out as a trusted advisor/consultant which has resulted in significant growth in the last handful of years. Staff at all levels are growing in their careers here, and our team overall is growing in number, because of the great people and great consultants we have on staff to learn from. Speaking both from personal experience and observing coworkers from afar, management at all levels supports staff through personal highs and lows as staff have experienced some of life's better or more stressful milestones. Local management and corporate management both honor their open-door/open-phone policy, and will even 'check in' when they haven't touched base in awhile. For staff interested in accelerating their growth, Structurepoint offers internal leadership classes of various types and degrees which help round out soft skills engineers often are left to figure out on their own. You get what you give in this business. I have worked hard and Structurepoint has supported me in return. Our salaries are competitive, retirement benefits cannot be beat, and we live out the 'work hard/play hard' cliche with fun group social outings and a holiday party second to none in our industry. I am proud to work for American Structurepoint and for the Investigative Group. The company and group are both poised to continue growing, and current staff have great opportunities ahead. Barring unforeseens, I intend to make this company the last stop in my career.

Cons

Not so much a con, but we're growing as we have roughly doubled our group size in last 5 years. Sure we could use a few more staff. But, it's not for a lack of trying as Structurepoint is careful in who they hire (something some of our competition cannot say).

Pros

Lots of company outings involving alcohol to help you forget the pain of working here.

Cons

Throughout interview process, I asked multiple times for a payscale for the position I was interviewing for. I could never get a straight answer. They would always talk around it. Salary in offer letter includes overtime pay......meaning if I wanted to make the salary that was promised to me, I'd have to work at least 5 hours of overtime every week....work life balance is not important here (even though they try to advertise it as such). And if there was a holiday, you only get 8 hours of holiday pay..so you have to strain yourself the rest of the week to make-up for lost hours. So say goodbye to spending time with family if you work here. Company is more focused on making money and taking more projects than their employees. Work you like a dog. Expect to work outside of your job description without compensating for it. Would rather hire more talent than promote employees. Also, if you look at their corporate leadership, there are 0 women.....not very diverse

We are sorry to hear that you felt this way about your time working with us. It is important that we address some of these opinions to provide more clarity and details. In regards to compensation, our offer letters and employment discussions are all presented very clearly: You are offered a base salary, plus OT. The base salary is listed in your offer letter independently and because you are OT eligible, in addition to listing out your base salary we also include an OT estimate in your overall compensation overview, so you can have an understanding around how much OT you will likely work on average, along with how that shakes out financially. We also list out your annual bonus, along with other factors. Many companies show you a 'total compensation/rewards package' when you are considering working for them to give you a clear picture of how all of the rewards work together. We offer many opportunities throughout the offer process to talk through questions, so we are hopeful that if there is any confusion we are able to walk through this to make sure everyone feels confident and clear before joining our company. Work/life balance is very important to our company, although it can be challenging as a growing company during a time when everyone in the industry is having the same struggles around staffing. That being said, we proudly both promote high-performing staff, as well as continue to hire the best talent in the market externally to grow our organization strategically. We agree and recognize that our executive leadership team needs more female representation. Our department and team leadership is a reflection of the continuation of making sure this is a focal point as we have many female leaders and we are committed to continuing the well-deserved growth and development of all our employees, paying close attention to those that are in underrepresented groups within our field. Change takes time and thought in order to make sure you are taking strategic steps to better your organization and not knee jerk reacting without fully considering multiple angles of suggestions and new policy implementations. We take our employee feedback very seriously and our most recent survey results were the catalyst in building our own employee leadership program with focal points around areas that our employees expressed could use some improvement. We are always looking for ways to better ourselves and appreciate the time and thought our people put into providing feedback for our company.
