Pros

co-workers were pleasant, competent, and work hard. the work is interesting, diverse, and challenging. company projects improve every day life in the region.

company pays lip service to teamwork, training, and technology, but does not support the efforts in reality. pay is lower than industry standard. work-load makes work-life balance difficult.

SRF Consulting Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are passionate about helping improve the quality of communities and transportation systems, and I’m glad you enjoyed our projects and co-workers during your time with SRF. While we have many project deadlines that need to be met, we do our best to balance work time through flexible schedules and workload sharing among groups. Sometimes though, the nature of our business requires extra work hours. SRF recognizes extra hours by offering additional compensation to all employees, salaried or hourly. We also evaluate current salary market conditions on a yearly basis and take that data into account with the salaries we offer. Training and technology are critical for the success and growth of our employees and company. As such, we have invested in new CADD/visualization, project management, and communication tools and will continue to do so. We offer a large variety of in-house training sessions throughout the year, many of which are geared to apply towards maintaining required certifications and registrations. I invite you to reach out to me to share your experience. Dave Montebello

Pros

The workplace culture, at least in my group, is very supportive and collaborative. I've never felt like I'm in an intense competition with my colleagues, as work at some other consulting firms can feel like. The company also provides generally good benefits, including two health insurance plan options, 401k with matching, and an ESOP. The company also pays pretty well, and from what I've heard has managed to avoid cost-cutting layoffs entirely throughout its decades-long history, even during the most challenging economic times. This shows me the company is overall very fiscally responsible and values its people. There are also good opportunities for advancement within the company, and they tend to promote people fairly based on performance and individual readiness for higher positions.

Cons

Because it's a consulting firm, there is a lot of pressure to always be doing billable work and reach a certain utilization goal. That's the nature of a consulting job, but it does lead to stress that I have not experienced outside the consulting sector, particularly during periods of slow work. The company also generally does not offer as much paid time off as my public sector counterparts tend to receive. I get less vacation time, sick time, and holidays than I used to in the public sector. On the issue of holidays in particular, it always feels a little odd to be working on holidays that our clients (who are mostly public sector) have off and probably don't expect us to be working on either.
