Roux Associates reviews

Travel is around 50-80% depending on the season. Small budget for food and such when traveling. Expected to travel even if personal schedule does not allow. Expected to put life on hold for work and travel often. Zero work-life balance. Little to no career development for individuals, there is a program but no one utilizes or follows it. Communication on performance is very little to none. Work deadlines and utilization take priority. Employees, especially at the staff level, are looked at as a number to get work done more than actual individual human beings. Staff employees are often asked to work overtime outside in the field with zero consideration of the toll on mental and physical health. Employees are often thrown into a tasks or jobs with zero instruction or explanation.

Sink or swim atmosphere with little to no actual mentoring depending on your manager. Often left to figure things out on your own which can lead to uncomfortable and unsafe situations. Managers can be too busy to care about staff. Heavy focus on utilization rates and profit. Any use of time that is not billable to a project (training, mentoring, attending office meetings, sometimes low budget projects and driving) hurts your utilization if you don’t work extra hours to make up for it. Overall a toxic workplace.
