Pros

Very diverse line of services and proprietary technologies and opportunity to grow career in many directions (air, water, land), as an Environmental Engineer this is very attractive. The company is in a strong growth period which means investments in new acquisitions and new technologies Leadership team is very diligent and my supervisor seems to genuinely care about the my success as an employee Staff that are outstanding are compensated well with bonus and options

Cons

The company is in a strong growth period which means investments in new acquisitions and new technologies - this means there are a number if smaller organization within one large one and as a result the cohesiveness and culture can be lacking and needs to be developed. If you are looking for a normal 9-5 and collect your paycheck this is not the company for you. If you are want to be part of a fast growing company and willing to actually put in an effort you will be rewarded.

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.
