Pros

I learned a lot working at Tetra Tech and was able to enhance my skills. Those in my department were great to work with.

Cons

Middle mgmt makes everything 10 x's more difficult than it has to be and are more interested in pointing fingers and placing blame instead of fixing the problems. They also have the mentality that if they are harsh with the employees they'll get a better work product. Not so. Most of the people in my dept are afraid to talk to one another for fear they'll get in trouble.

Pros

Base on my experience with Tetra Tech AMT, everyone is wonderful to work with. There are many different personalities and egos, but the co-workers are the only positive thing going on for this company. When things aren't going well, everyone is on the same page and expresses there concerns with each other. Senior managers are extremely nice and intelligent and they are not afraid to talk about their concerns or even express their own opinions about the executives.

Cons

Senior executives needs to have a more open door policy with their subordinates. The culture and environment has become complacent or, what many believe, is now dead...especially after the government shutdown and budget cuts. Every time an employee leaves from overhead, the company decides not to backfill the position. Leaving the rest of overhead forced to collect the scraps!

Pros

This is a large company so you have access to all the resources and prestige of the company when you are selling work in the industry. Despite being a large company each office and division seems like a small company, because ultimately it is run like a small company. The people are genuinely nice and you can have a flexible schedule.

Cons

This company doesn't focus on organic growth and does not care about fostering growth for their employees or operating units, they make money by acquisition. The operating units operate completely independently from each other and subsequently it's all about you. Your office, your operating unit, your boss will provide no business plan or support. If you can create your own business leads internally/externally then you will be fine. However expect people to insular and not share work with you when you send work their way.
