Thank you for your comments. We’d certainly like to better understand “management was predictable and good” vs. “very corporate environment”. One of our three core values is “Be the Change you Seek,” so we pride ourselves in empowering the team to make decisions and move the firm forward without being constrained with unnecessary corporate interference. Most professionals are not compensated hourly for extra work but rather bonused for their performance. WGI has followed this philosophy for decades and never missed a year with bonus payments.

Pros

Decent people to work with.

Cons

Turbulent office, revolving door of people leaving, dysfunctional office, caters too much to client demands to the point we do work for free

Yes, we are proud to be client-focused, and to empower our project managers to determine the scope and fee that is in the best interest of all parties. I am also pleased to inform you that our recently completed engagement survey indicates that the Austin office is highly engaged and scored higher than the norm when compared to national statistics. This week, we shared these results with the Austin office with WGI’s entire senior leadership team present and actively listening to our valued associates. It seems your opinions and those of your peers are misaligned, but we would like to know more. Since you indicate current employment with WGI, would you please schedule time with HR or any of the senior leadership team to better understand each other? We do care but we can only get better with transparency and honest, open communication.

Thank you for the feedback. While we wish your opinion of WGI was more positive, we do appreciate that WGI isn’t for everyone. We have many field crew members that have been with us for over ten years, and some in the twenty year range. Several have cultivated a career and transitioned to responsible roles in an office environment where their knowledge is critical to advancing our data management and technology leaning strategies. On a personal note, we wish you nothing but the best with your career.
