Pros

- Challenging and fast paced, development here will rarely leave you bored and is flexible to new software. - If you have an idea and spend time prototyping it (sometimes time is given and other times you have to prototype in your own time) the company will often go through an adoption process and make you feel like you are the most important person in the room. Really gratifying both in terms of pay and recognition. - Realistic expectations - Generous amount of time off - Benefits and RRSP Matching - Great Management Team - Pretty much the best job I have ever had In summary I get fair pay, full time work, and feel recognized when I accomplish something.

Cons

- It's still a growing company. Not all the processes have matured and sometime I work odd hours. This is mitigated by time of in lieu of working these odd hours and is often paid back in spades. Eg. if I have to work at 9PM I'm allowed to leave early and if I have to take support requests, that's basically all I'm required to do in a day. - High pressure and fast paced (arguably a pro for some but if you're not into that sort of thing...) with new products having quick release cycles and old products having massive enhancements.

During our Q4 Earnings Call, our CEO Vijay touched on our continued focus on environmental innovation with R&D and additional patents awarded, along with several patents filed and/or awaiting review. Montrose can only be a leading and innovative company by giving our employees the space to try new things. Glad to hear our management team acknowledges and values your and others’ efforts and that Montrose is the best job you ever had. We continue to benchmark compensation and benefit practices and glad to see packages are seen as competitive at the employee level. Lastly thank you for the insightful advice and can ensure you the executive team is actively discussing ways that we can better communicate within and between the organization. Thank you for your review – I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

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
