Pros
Montrose is a growing company with lots of opportunity for career advancement or career path changes. Montrose was founded with the vision of bringing industries together that are all related to analytical and environmental test and measurement services. Environmental engineering, stack testing, and laboratory analysis are typically separate entities, but Montrose is uniting them to help support and integrate capabilities. There is a lot that needs to happen before this vision is fully executed, but if you want to be a part of something new and help form a path forward, this could be the place for you. As with any new venture, there are many things that need to be worked out and can be painful at times, but the intentions and intelligence driving the decisions are very good. Montrose is a big company, but it still manages to maintain the small company feel. The CEO and VP make themselves available to all employees, regardless of their rank. During acquisitions, they have been careful to maintain top talent, which has resulted in a wealth of knowledge from upper management about the various scientific methods used. It is a great place to learn and grow and I recommend it to anyone who has a passion in science, the environment, or even business management.
Cons
Not all systems are in places and there are many efficiency improvements that need to be made. This can impact you in ways related to accuracy and responsiveness from corporate departments.
