GHD reviews

The pay is below market value. Raises are rare and poor. You’ll make more elsewhere. No bonus incentive. Training for employees is non-existent beyond what is a “project requirement”. GHD will not support training that is geared towards your career development. Management is secretive, hiring and firing occurs without warning leaving you with a constant feeling of unease. Staff experience levels are top and bottom heavy. Many juniors, many seniors, little to no intermediate professionals. Seniors are so busy they hardly have time for juniors, thus support is limited for juniors and they too become overworked. Lack of communication between different groups at GHD is frustrating. This lead to many last minute headaches and overall drop in deliverable quality, as well as mismanaging budgets. Work-life balance was limited. 40hr minimum work weeks, which you often have to exceed, but GHD does not compensate the hrs 40-44. Other firms allow this time to be bankable, GHD only offers OT Pay or bankable hours after 44. As a result you often work for free.

Management is not always helpful
