Pros

Growing company working in diverse industries nationwide; the CEO seems to really live up to the values that he promotes; challenging (in a good way) work due to rapid growth

Cons

Definitely has an engineering firm vibe, even though they do architecture as well. I would prefer that the environment be a little more modern, creative, and artistic.

Pros

Only game in town so they have you trapped.

Cons

This is a firm that if you are not one of the chosen few you have no chance getting anywhere. A majority of the management from directors on up are clueless that seem to have no education in business management, just engineers. They just happened to be in the right place at the right time and inherited their positions. They did an internal poll of management and the biggest issue is they are totally untrustworthy. There seems to be a lot of discrimination in the firm as well.

We appreciate the time you took to write about LDG. It is unfortunate that you seem to have had such a bad experience. As was the case during your employment, I’d like to extend our open door policy to you even though you aren’t an active part of the LDG family at this time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. (Mark Morgenfruh, Vice President Human Resources, 570-323-6603 x267) I am sure that had you utilized that resource any issues or concerns, real or perceived, would have been cleared up very quickly – we embrace a very transparent environment and encourage open dialogue to resolve differences. And I am certain that had we talked, the broad sentiment about discrimination could have been resolved. LDG is an Equal Opportunity Employer and we encourage females, minorities, veterans the disabled and people from all walks of life to join our team. Discrimination of any sort is illegal, but more importantly goes against the values and culture of our company and is not tolerated here at LDG.

Pros

Vision and values have created a good basis for driving employee behavior. Can employees understand and step up. Walk the talk is key.

Cons

Growing too fast and trying to do too many things in a short period of time. Do all employees real know and understand the values

Thank you so much for your review and kind words. Our Vision and Values are the core of the company and we are learning a lot as we grow. That includes the proper staging and timing of initiatives. We have shared all of our Strategic Priorities, Initiatives tied to each, and the order in which they are planned at our bi-annual Town Halls for the past 18 months. We also continue to keep everyone updated at Divisional meetings, through regular communications and our Pay day Press. To continue to be a firm that outpaces the industry growth rate we all have to adjust to the fast pace but hope our frequent sharing of information and timelines gives everyone advanced notice for what is up and coming.
