I am very pleased to hear you describe your experience with us as collaborative, technically challenging with a focus on delivering value to our clients. You highlighted some of the most important components that contribute to our company’s culture. It’s what we strive for when it comes to our employees and clients. We seek to hire and retain the top talent in our industry and connect them with our clients and projects that are highly engaging and rewarding to both. As we continue to grow our talent at about 10 percent per year, we seek an ever-diverse skillset of individuals with unique backgrounds, perspective and experiences that allow us to deliver value added services that exceeds our client’s expectations. It’s true that it takes a lot of effort and individuals who are self-motivated to be successful in our industry. As GEI engineers and scientists, we are committed to delivering value added solutions, on time and on budget to our clients. It’s my hope that those sometimes long days are filled with fulfilling work, alongside colleagues that are equally as engaged and that you learn from each other as you work on projects that are unique and offer a meaningful experience. I’m glad to hear that you’ve connected with our wealth of knowledge in our senior and principal leaders. They are here to guide and mentor you as the future leaders of GEI. I believe listening to and interacting with our clients and employees is critical to the continued success of GEI and will remain unchanged regardless of our size. I appreciate your input and feedback.

Pros

Some of the people in the office/other branches were great and I continue to have friendships with them to this day.

Cons

If you’re a young professional, say good bye to seeing the inside of an office. You’re 100% in the field with no room to learn other parts of the job and grow your own client network and report writing. The dynamic between the leadership group (Amber Ahles and Brooke Bennett) and younger professional (especially females) was terrible. This was a mean girls club where you are judged by what you wear, what time you walk in and out of the door, and if you had an opinion. They never would take accountability for failing the younger professionals and then just blame you for not growing and improving at the pace they wanted you to. At the end of the day, management and leaders are responsible for the growth and success of the team. Additionally, if you want to be bullied by mid level professionals, who think they are superior to you and gang up with management, this is the place. Johnnie Noles will take care of that for you. In all, the only good thing this job brought me, was the “experience” to take myself anywhere but there. The way you treat people matters. And these three people single handily ruined the experience for me and others I have spoken with. Do better.
