Pros

Growth at the time Good pay at the time Good bonuses at the time

Cons

I was fired from this position due to some issues that were brought up that the staff complained about. The funny thing is, everything I was accused of, was supported and driven by upper management. I was very much micromanaged to the point that if I left the office for any point during the day, my cell phone would ring nonstop. I was asked to spy on employees, provide feedback for everyone that worked for me so that management can continually keep their thumb over everybody. I was very good at my job, but I spent more time tracking people and reporting every little thing to upper management that I started to lose my mind. Very disappointing. But the joke was on me. Honestly, the day that I got fired and was escorted out of the office, was a huge weight off of my shoulders. And now, five years later, they are still having the same issues because I have kept in touch with some of the employees. They loved to point fingers and take no responsibility. Nothing like having an upper management senior principal/branch manager call you at 7 AM in the morning and asked to provide a list as to what time his managers and field team entered the office and how often I saw them taking breaks. Again, I was like their puppet, and the joke was on me but I won in the end ! And by reading these reviews, I can see that not much has changed in the past five years

Pros

There is a lot of variety of work available for those seeking it and eager to diversify their skill set. Cross collaboration between groups, offices, and practices is highly encouraged. It has been a unique experience among other consulting firms I’ve worked at, as Geosyntec prizes doing cool work on cool projects over just trying to maximize how much money is coming in. The atmosphere doesn’t feel internally competitive, and there isn’t generally a sense of possessiveness of work amongst managers and working groups. Many projects I’ve been on have been multidisciplinary efforts with teams assembled from all over to get the right people in the right position on each project, regardless of who may be the “profit center” for the revenue.

Cons

Sometimes, because of the pros described above, organization of projects can feel a little stretched thin, and the consequence of such collaboration and cross-team work sharing can sometimes lead to a lacking of accountability in the leadership structure on a project, as people are performing work for other groups and managers they do not directly or indirectly report to. Additionally, I feel like the company is a little top heavy on senior managers, principals, and senior principals, and it can feel as a mid-career employee that there isn’t enough early-mid career support on projects.
