WSP reviews

Little to no work-life balance. Everyone here works hard and OT is expected. Rather than hire enough people for the workload, they just make current employees work more. Again, if you have a good boss, they'll recognize your efforts, but it usually just becomes the norm and they don't think extra of it. 401k match is way too low.

For WSP corporate: - While I was there, 401(k) match was capped at $2700 (was simply 3% before) and we went to an "unlimited PTO" model where we don't accrue time (and can't cash out when you leave) and are pressured to take less time off to maintain utilization targets - IT systems were outsourced and one small ticket could take over a week with multiple calls/emails to sort out - We were moved to a shared-space office half the size we had previously with cheap furniture, zero separation from other groups/people (it was literally one giant open room), and non-working laptop hubs that meant I had to also lug my power brick to work every day. Specifically in Seattle's Planning group: There was a lot of churn, including managers and a lot of people were vocally derisive of the culture and politics on their way out. Some of the people who stuck around for a long time were incredibly toxic: lots of loyalty tests, backstabbing other coworkers, and lying to clients and team members about the sloppy, half-baked work we'd turn in. For me, it got to a point where I was spending more time navigating politics or trying to stay out of toxic situations than I was doing work.
