Douglas Company reviews

No real safety program or safety training. That was biggest surprise when starting. Regular travel to job sites could get obnoxious and hurt work-life balance. Company has sometimes been known as an accounting company who also builds things. I found this to be an accurate description. Accounting processes are way over the top and in many cases time wasters. Most of the accounting folks I got to know felt the same way. Internal processes sometimes got in our own way. Many times contractors were not getting paid in a timely fashion and it was not the contractors fault, it was our own processes. I’m never worked for a company with such tedious accounting and I’ve worked for far larger companies/corporations. The downfall of the promotions schedules is I feel some people were promoted too soon and my own promotion schedule was often unrealistic. Average age of project managers is much lower than most companies leading to inexperience compared to other similar contractors. More senior level project managers with more experience are needed. Lots of turnover.

Aggressive Culture - Not for Everyone Traveling Contractor - Requires Time on The Road
