Pros

When I first started, I couldn't believe the number of multi-decade employees that worked here. The reason is because it is a great place to work. The work is challenging, but the pay-off is rewarding. Everyone has an incentive to produce quality products for the clients. Topographic is not a place to be for a time, you will not last. Personal initiative and drive is expected...and encouraged!

Cons

I honestly cannot think of any that aren't worse at other places. Maybe they are too flexible.

Pros

Salary is fair. Admin staff is kind, knowledgeable, driven, and supportive of junior staff. Lots of opportunity for growth and additional education.

Cons

The divisions are very siloed that can make cooperation between divisions difficult - sometimes.

Pros

Pay is decent, and the benefits (like vacation time) are solid.

Cons

I’ve been with the company for a while, and I've seen a lot, both the good and the bad. There’s some discrimination, a mix of forgiveness, and the usual ups and downs you’d expect in this industry. It’s not a place for everyone, especially if you don’t have "thick skin." First off, unless you’re buddies with the right people or play by certain unspoken rules, you’re probably going to become a target. This is well-known and tolerated. That said, if you do your job well, you can stick around and earn bonuses. But don’t expect to build a long-term career here, the mentorship they claim to offer isn’t really there. It’s also pretty common for senior management to take credit for the hard work employees put in. When discrimination or nasty comments happen, they’re often swept under the rug. However, you’ll likely feel small at some point, or at least like you’re just another cog in the machine. If you’re someone who can put personal beliefs aside, and just show up to work for the paycheck, this place might work for you.
