Atkins reviews

No coherent structure across practices and departments let alone business units. Skills aren't matched to roles, your just pushed to be productive even if it is not the right thing for the client.

-Favours managers who are more often than not technically out-of-depths to manage the professional staff and complex projects, leading to disastrous project deliveries and dismal morale. -And as a direct consequence, struggle to win well-remunerated projects and are stuck with leftovers thrown away by their competitors. -Which then leads to a vicious cycle of project leaders trying to hide the financial state of their projects from senior management. Senior project staff spend much of their business hours coming up with inventive ways to complete their weekly time sheets, than on solving engineering and design challenges. -The numerous drastic redundancies made to entire departments of the Asian offices are a direct reflection of the systemic problems aforementioned.
