Tetra Tech reviews

(1) all management lack people management skills, (2) senior staff have no formal management or business training, (3) no sense of stregy and hence no strategic coordination throughout firm, (4) firm is reactionary and most learning occurs from making mistakes (in some cases detrimental mistakes). All this creates a dis-jointed atmosphere, where parallel projects are common, overhead is not tracked nor managed against. This latter point is significant: without grasping a sense of the cost of operating, no effort is put forward to reduce spending. More importantly, the firm is famous for paying staff rediculously low wages, and not recognizing educational credentials. A very frustrating place to work.

This company is big, cumbersome, and feels like it. This company is publicly traded and feels like it. Every office is their own island; every team is an island within the island. Career progression and title progression are slow and archaic. Upper management does a good job at fitting movie stereotypes.
