Good compensation and benefits, Excellent technical capabilities

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Huge projects in all disciplines, the benefits are the best of any consulting firm I've worked for, and the intellectual capital within the environmental remediation discipline is phenomenal. Diverse workplace in many ways. Flexible approach to schedule and work/life balance - IF you work in an office and for a supervisor who is on board with it.

Cons

A lot of negativity within certain circles and offices. I'm fairly new (6 months as of this review) and am not really sure why this is the case but I do know management and corporate leadership are listening and making meaningful changes. If you don't network yourself within the company and quickly align yourself with project teams and a community of practice that you're excited about then it could be a tough place to work.

Not a life long company, good stepping stone

Pros

Lot of really cm good and knowledgeable people to learn from. The diversity of projects is a great starting point for an entry level engineer. The flexible work environment is also a plus.

Cons

Doesn't value junior staff. Their turn over rate is very high and they don't seem to be trying to do anything to make people want to stay. Work life balance is non existent. You'll easily work 50 to 60 hours a week with no recognition. Only plus is that since your billing your time you get over time (just hourly rate).

Pros

Good benefits and a Remote Worker policy that is very good. Great people to work with in all departments.

Cons

Starting to outsource a lot of jobs from accounting, engineering, IT, etc. A lot of negative vibes going around that used to not exist as much through the company globally.
