Pros

Nicely positioned City of London location, nice office environment with a predominantly helpful and great professional staff

Cons

Senior management being process driven with an over emphasis on office admin procedures, carried further by the tetra tech acquisition. There is a very conservative, unimaginative approach to winning new commissions, which seemed to miss the point. The old management clique has dissipated to a large extent by those leaving the business allowing for more openness and transparency.

Pros

Staff at the coal face delivering for their Clients sure excellent and a huge asset.

Cons

- “Death by Timesheet” culture that arrives with the new American owners. - Accountancy/ Finance driven and dominated decision making process from the Senior Leadership Team, none of whom are fee earning, work-winning or indeed Client-facing! - Risk averse SLT in the extreme to the point that they turn superb work away as they don’t believe in or trust and empower their staff to deliver for their Clients. - American Corporate Consultancy giant culture being brought into play by owners TetraTech who are still making their mind up what to do with the business and how to change it to what they want to do. - Appalling pay rises- lack thereof- to high performing teams who repeatedly delivered for them, and definitely one rule for certain parts of the business that had the CEO’s ear, than for others.

Pros

Large contracts give a huge base to work from. Nationwide project locations give opportunity to travel.

Cons

The company is split between different units that are essentially different businesses all together. EMI unit forbade (not in writing of course) the use of overhead charging when out of work - it’s criminal. Difficult to get a substantial raise (over 4-5%) every year 2.5-3% is average and promotions almost never happen for entry level people after 4-5 years.
