Good benefits and fulfilling work, but low morale and owners making shortsighted decisions - Engineer Alta Planning + Design Employee Review

Everyone here is bought in and laser focused on the mission to improve our transportation infrastructure by creating better multimodal options for people to get where they want to go without driving. You won't meet a group of more inspired or passionate people about the work that we do. Beautiful downtown office space with stocked kitchen and amazing views. Flexible hybrid work environment, most people come in 2 days a week. Growth opportunity for high performers, if you work hard, your work will usually be recognized and opportunities will come. many leaders have been at the company and grown with it for a long time and are standard-bearers for the culture. constantly growing and adding headcount as well, the business is in good shape financially Truly a national firm so opportunities to work on projects and collaborate with experts in the field all over the country. Great PTO, wellness, bike, and commuter benefits.

The pace and nature of consulting isn't for everyone. Priorities and focus shift often, and you have to be adaptable and open to change

Beautiful expensive view perfect for commuting from your mansion on your e-bike to downtown on a safe secure bikeway.

Culture of retaliation, bullying, and overt normativity, blatant and subtle racism. It’s obvious the partners and principals and project managers only work on projects that make their homes or kid’s schools or neighborhoods increase in property values while being overtly prejudice towards poor and racially marginalized communities. If you’re a young person looking for something meaningful, go anywhere else. This company is about making a tiny amount of the already rich people in already rich neighborhoods bike faster on their e bikes, not solve complex problems of active transportation safety and equity for poor or rural or diverse communities. Menlo Park and Lake Oswego and Edina have amazing infrastructure because that’s where the decision makers live, send their kids to school, and ensure public resources and monies ear marketed for equity goals receive first priority and highest quality of service.
