Dear Employee - thank you for your feedback. Please note that we do provide a 401k match, but it is paid once annually (in February) for the prior year, which is common for most companies. We also have a performance bonus plan and in 2019 more than half of staff received a bonus as part of our annual process. Further, managers often use spot bonuses throughout the year to recognize specific wins, accomplishments, or milestones.

Pros

I joined Ardurra nearly two years ago, and, as CHRO, I am proud to have been part of a leadership team that is acutely focused on realizing our People Mission: to be the employer of choice in the markets in which we operate. We have made significant steps forward, having been recognized on Zweig Group's Best Firms AND Hot Firms Lists in 2019. We are a company that is quickly emerging as a leader in the industry, via both organic growth and mergers and acquisitions. Nonetheless, we are deliberate and purposeful in nurturing and celebrating a company culture that distinguishes us from our peers; we work hard to make an environment where people want to be... and want to join. We also value diversity... and for us is not merely lip service. In fact, our CEO Ernesto Aguilar is one of the few (if not only) Hispanic leaders of national engineering consultancies in the U.S. Overall, Ardurra is an incredible place to work and I feel lucky to be part of this incredible team. With 20+ years of working within this industry, I can say without question that I have never encountered a group of professionals that came close to those at Ardurra.

Cons

We need YOU here too.

Pros

Bought out by investment firm. There are still some good people left.

Cons

Bought out by investment firm. Unfortunately, this causes some people to be put into management positions that should not be there.

Dear employee - thank you for your feedback. Change is difficult, but I am confident that we are continually improving. Like all companies, we do lose good people, but our turnover rate is at or below the norm for the industry and I would argue that the staff we have are incredible and we are building an even stronger organization as we grow and expand with the addition of new hires and new companies that join the Ardurra family throughout the year. Did you know that in 2019 we hired 100 new employees, seeing double-digit organic growth in some of our key markets, including Water and Survey? We have added critical leaders to build out our back-office to better support the business, and continue to hire incredible talent to join Ardurra from top to bottom. As I said, change is hard, but the growth of the business allows us to invest in programs that we would not be able to afford at a smaller size.
