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.

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
