Pros

I feel very blessed to say Topographic has been a fantastic firm and community to be a part of. The culture is family-oriented, where people genuinely get along on an everyday basis and work collaboratively in a cohesive work environment. Topographic has terrific leadership at the helm. They are progressive, forward thinking and seem to care about the person and not solely the production out of its employees. In fact, out of the blue last month, the CEO did an entire office walk-through, greeting everyone by their first name and seeing how they and their families were doing. I haven't seen that at many companies I've worked at in the past. Once they arrive, employees seem to want to stay here long-term and there is low turnover. Leadership demonstrates honesty and integrity, and it influences and improves on the overall culture of the firm. In my experience over the last two years, I have had daily hands-on learning opportunities. Our engineering solutions are pragmatic and cost-effective, not the quickest and easiest solution. I have not been stifled, but have been given as much work as I would like to learn as quickly as I would like. The work-life balance is great and much better than at previous companies I have worked for.

Cons

No cons worth mentioning at this time.

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.
