Performance is not important. - Anonymous employee Geosyntec Consultants Employee Review

Well run and well-respected overall

Only the cons typically associated with the env consulting field, nothing company-specific

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.

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.
