Pros

This company is on the right path and has made major improvements over the 3+ years that I've been employed here. There have been plenty of bumps in the road, but the current senior management staff has made significant progress in getting people moved into the positions for which they are best suited. Benefits are good, including paid time off policy, an there is plenty of room for advancement. I have been promoted twice since Montrose purchased the company I worked for. Overall, a great group of people to work with, but if you are not interested in a challenging, competitive, environment this might not be the company for you. If you are looking for a technician or Project Management position in the AQS division, plan on travelling fequently (same as any other source testing company).

Cons

Some internal policies, procedures, and programs need to be revised to keep up with the rapid growth of the company.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We are encouraged by the positive remarks. As a growing organization, our aim is to continuously improve our policies, procedures, and programs. Earlier this year, we completed our first Employee Engagement Survey to solicit more employee feedback. We take the feedback from our employees seriously, and we will continue to solicit feedback on a regular basis. This feedback is taken into consideration when new policies, procedures, and programs are developed. One of the benefits of being a growing organization is that we are able to provide opportunities to people such as yourself. We are continuing to identify, develop, and invest in our internal talent by allowing our employees the opportunity to transfer to our other offices around the U.S.

Pros

Company is highly adaptable. Maintains agility even though the company large. Upper management supports and encourages employee involvement.

Cons

Being a publicly traded company hinders some type of growth due to burdensome overhead.

Pros

Prior to our company's acquisition with MEG/Onterris, the company had a strong culture, supportive leadership, and employees who genuinely cared about one another and the success of the business.

Cons

If your company has been acquired, pay close attention to employee reviews and take them seriously. I did, and many of the concerns raised turned out to be accurate. Employees were repeatedly assured that the acquisition would create new opportunities and that jobs were secure. In my experience, that was not the reality. Long-tenured employees were gradually pushed out while similar positions were later reposted with modified titles or responsibilities. The former ownership ultimately lost control of decisions despite assurances that little would change. Employees with years of institutional knowledge spent years implementing new procedures, documenting procedures, learning the new system, and navigating disorganized Workday implementations with minimal support. Much of the guidance consisted of being directed to read instructions on the intranet. If you are in a finance position they will let you go! They will tell you they want it all centralized in Arkansas but that's not true, there are plenty of people working remote but you will be pushed out no matter how long you've been with your company. This not only affected me but our entire team was wiped out. They didn't give us a heads up in advance to look for anything for 2 years we were told everyone was safe and I believed them. Keep an eye out for the constant restructuring of upper management as well.

Thank you for a decade of contribution, and for sharing this so candidly. Change of this scale asks a lot of trust from employees, and we recognize that. We take feedback like yours seriously as we work to communicate more clearly through transitions and support the people navigating them. We'd genuinely value hearing more directly please contact our HR team at HRCorp@onterris.com so we can listen fully. Kevin Gill, SVP, HR
