Terracon reviews

The overtime structure is confusing and honestly not applicable if you do not work 50+ hours per week. Upper management (again, this is dependent on the office you are in) often low-balls project budgets just to get business, which is counterproductive when the project inevitably goes over-budget. The pay is on the low-side of the acceptable starting salaries for Civil Engineers. I think the most important of all is a lack of a formal mentoring program. I think Terracon adopts a "sink or swim" approach. A formal mentoring program would greatly benefit a new engineer and give them guidance on transitioning from the academic realm to the professional.

Horrible micromanging managers and department leads. Salary is lower than other companies. Will not pay you for most of your overtime. Project managers will reclassify your over time to non-billable, so you won't get paid...just so their project budget looks better. Office culture can be sumed up as negative and overworked. Choose another company, unless your willing to work all the time and not get paid for it
