Pros

Most benefits were standard for any US corporation. The HQ campus in Pasadena is quite nice.

Cons

Tetra Tech is a conglomerate. As a result, there is not a sense of corporate pride or even comradery . The corporate office oversees administrative functions, but often does not have a vested interest in the mission of the individual operating companies, particularly those which are focused more so in the philanthropic arena and do not generate much revenue.

Pros

Tetra Tech recently updated their time off policy. They’ve given people the option to essentially take unpaid leave to add to their allowed time off but are calling it a “benefit” with a cute name “My Flex Time”. This is to supplement their atrocious time off policy. Peak corporate exploitation and capitalist greed.

Cons

23 days TOTAL paid time off per year. This means 7 mandatory federal holidays, sick time, vacation time, and any other time off are all subtracted from this. This was not clearly communicated in the interview or employee handbook.

Worst 'Professional' Time in my Career

Pros

Two people that I met that I was not even working with.

Cons

I was lied to many times by upper management, from my interview to the day I left. Management is so top heavy, you may be asked to do the work of 5+ people and have more than 5 managers checking in with you to see your progress. They will send people in from out of state to check if you need help, but you won't receive help. You will not receive time off. You will barely receive bereavement time. You will use your very limited paid time off for every holiday you ever hope to enjoy unless you live in a country where your government mandates it. I received little to no support at this company and I am ashamed to have associated with them. They may do impressive work in some fields but I am ashamed to have worked for a company that cared so little.
