Mortenson reviews

You are expected to devote your life to the project. Expect to work weekends and holidays, because on Mortenson projects a supervisor always has to be present on site if there is work, and there will always be work on holidays. Mortenson gives a lot of PTO to its employees. But you will be ostracized and held back from promotions if you use even half of your PTO. Most people don't use hardly any of their PTO, and then wear it as a badge of honor when they lose PTO.

Culture, Too conservative, creative stifling atmosphere, very difficult to figure out, very stiff and inflexible. People work hard, with their heads down, mouths zipped shut as if they are scared to speak. Management by intimation. It was hard to work in a company that crushed creativity and basically told you to get back in line, and put your head down and produce. Not for me sorry. Female leadership competing with the predominately male culture provides an interesting dynamic. All be it a solid company, do your research and spend time getting to know your leader and division before you sign on the dotted line.
