      Great People, Poor Senior Leadership

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Co-workers across the country were great to work with - Managers did not micro-manage; always try their best to keep you busy - Benefits and PTO policies were good when I was there

      Cons

      - Leadership in Boston is like a cult; they keep saying they want to have a better understanding of the operations in local offices, but keep missing the mark and out of touch - Kept talking about staying away from Utilization, but action spoke louder than words - The number of acronyms are laughable - Rebranding old initiatives as new initiatives - Lack of diversity (mostly white people) - Raise is small, promotion is rigid/takes forever, not merit-based

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The office environment is good, close to harbor.

      Cons

      A lot of good managers left, and only left with poisonous ones. Micromanage and speaking rude and mean.

      Toxic work environment

      Environmental engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits package is good Good projects if you can find them and fight for them Good project managers if you are lucky

      Cons

      Toxic work environment Low pay compared to competitors Sexism and racism are prevalent and flourishing Poor management Poor company structure Minimal opportunity for growth They measure your “utilization” which is how billable you are. Management is responsible to make sure you have work and are on projects but if you don’t meet your “utilization” goal it falls on you.
