Pros

Dudek truly was once an amazing company to work for. They have great benefits, flexibility, fun work events, animal friendly, and some great employees although a lot of the good ones are planning to leave.

Cons

They are going through big leadership changes and it isn't for the better. The culture and employee moral has changed drastically and seems to keep declining. I have been at Dudek for a long time and in the beginning it was an amazing place but now they have lost their culture and a lot of what made them special. A lot of talented and intelligent employees are leaving, which is disappointing to see and even more are planning to leave. The new President is not inspiring nor motivating. He doesn't seem to truly care about the employees and their needs. The CEO is checked out and really isn't involved in the company at all. There's no real leader there.

Dudek Response

Dudek has enjoyed steady growth for 40 years which has primarily been driven by efforts to expand career development opportunities for our employees. We are excited about the leadership roles that have developed in this past year. We are leveraging our growth to expand leadership opportunities while ensuring that we meet client and employee needs, and protect our core values and culture, a topic we discuss often and passionately. This review is valued feedback, but more importantly, you are valued. We encourage you to reach out to your supervisor to discuss your observations. Alternatively, please reach out to HR or any other member of the leadership team. There are a lot of exciting things happening at Dudek, but they aren’t possible without the trust and collaboration of all of our employee owners!

Pros

Young and easy to get along with team. Positive attitude in Paleontological project managers although their communication methods have room for improvement.

Cons

Project and field managers are very poor at communicating with field technicians. Some required data collection such as Munsell color charts are based upon incomplete charts and are therefore irrelevant. Restrictive specimen and sample collection parameters make the company ineffective at adequate data acquisition and therefore paleontological resources are not adequately protected.
