Pros

- The work product that the firm was originally built on is some of the best in the industry, but that legacy is fading as so many key staff leave the company

Cons

- Low employee morale - Inept senior management that is completely out of touch with the staff doing the engineering work. - The growth strategy is to buy firms, do a poor job integrating the new acquisitions into a poorly thought out, rigid accounting-driven business approach that engineers hate, and then move on to new acquisitions while bleeding talent from the demoralized workforce. - Senior management focuses on new "orders" at the expense of virtually everything else. It is clear that orders and utilization drive everything, and how the work is delivered is secondary - Instead of addressing employee concerns, the messaging from senior management is empty rhetoric that is often at odds with their actions. - For an industry where knowledge and experience mean absolutely everything it is amazing how much talent and experience the company has squandered

Thank you for your honesty. It is always hard to see good talent leave, however we are continually recruiting top talent from all industries and building out our capabilities to enhance our Forensics offerings, including a highly-specialized concrete lab run by some of the best in the industry. We are disappointed to hear your outlook of the company did not improve with some of the enhancements we made, but we will continue to partner with Forensics leadership to ensure this business is as strong as ever. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
