WGI reviews

Thank you for sharing your perspective. While we regret to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, we appreciate the opportunity to provide additional context for future candidates. Compensation & Bonuses During the COVID period, WGI implemented an average 12% salary increase across the company. This adjustment incorporated what had historically been bonus dollars into base pay, ensuring employees received those dollars regardless of project performance, profitability, or individual utilization. Because average annual increases in our industry are approximately 4%, this approach resulted in a meaningful, compounding increase for employees. Bonuses have continued to be awarded for exceptional performance and contributions. Workload & Hours Engineering and private consulting can be demanding, and we recognize that. That said, our internal data shows that Austin’s average recorded workweek is approximately 42 hours, and the office maintains one of the more flexible schedules in the firm, including half-day Fridays. We continuously work with teams and project leaders to monitor workload, utilization, and staffing to support a sustainable work environment. Turnover Voluntary turnover at WGI has averaged around 15% in recent years, compared to roughly 12% in the broader A/E industry. While slightly higher during the post-pandemic talent market, 2025 turnover has declined meaningfully. We have made substantial investments in career paths, leadership development, and compensation benchmarking to further strengthen retention. We genuinely appreciate the contributions you made during your time at WGI and wish you continued success in the next chapter of your career. Private consulting is challenging, and we remain committed to creating an environment where high-performing professionals can grow, be supported, and build long-term careers.
