Jensen Hughes reviews

The person who posted the five star glowing review recently is from Marketing, and is DEFINITELY not a Project Engineer on our team! Just more futile attempts at PR from a sinking company. “Not fair” comment from that same review is invalid because you cannot pick on someone for their honest assessment of what used to be compared to now. It is definitely a lot of people’s opinions that the outlook is very grim, and we all KNOW we are working much harder for much less money and benefits, and that several company acquisitions and expensive purchases do not make any sense. I’m not sure why the reviewer is saying that others are from small firms or living in the past....? The reality is RIGHT NOW that money is all the new owners and execs care about. Yes, run it like a business, of course, but also emphasize personal and professional fulfillment, work-life balance, adequate benefits to compete with the local job market, and appreciation and recognition for jobs well done. The soulless, relentless drive for more billable hours for less compensation is a company’s long term death sentence, which the reviewer is conveniently ignoring.

Little useful administrative support, with plenty of accounting headaches I just learned the company let go a 65 year old senior engineer who served there for 16 years. His severance pay offered after 16 years was two months salary. Salaries in Seattle do not come close to covering the high cost of housing there. The support staff who is expected to provide equipment has no no budget to do it. When I was there, some employees have had to purchase their own equipment such as high quality cameras that essential for forensic work . Turned a regional forensic engineering firm that had a strong, collaborative , productive culture among its engineers into a virtual ghost town in less than two years after acquiring the company. Secretive, self-serving, self-promoting management Pathetically small salaries and raises for technical and engineering staff given the huge hourly rates and increases in billing rates. Huge salaries and bonuses for the unproductive management.
