Opinions as follows:
Compensation package not too good
Comp-time appears actually to be a way to avoid paying overtime (and it's limited too) - don't get paid over 40 hrs/week even when am requested to work in excess of 40
Company perks are almost non-existent (not even free coffee - get stuck paying for visitors' coffee too)
No mileage compensation for frequent visits to distant sites (people driving up to 100 miles each way)
Short notice transfers with low compensation
Employees with many years with the company often still at near-entry-level jobs
New hires not mentored (lots of talk about training & mentoring, but seems to be no basis in reality)
Lots of talk about 'quality' but behind the scenes seems to be lots of shortcuts right down to what appear to be NRC violations such as non-qualified reviewers doing review work with qualified reviewers simply cosigning without having time to review - seems mostly about cranking out report after report to make money
Doesn't seem to adhere to EEOC regs behind the scenes
Backbiting & backstabbing seems rampant between employees, management, and even behind clients' backs
Claims of FBI background checks appear to be outsourced, 'cheesy' commercial background checks
Seems to make veiled threats to employees to prevent speaking out
Not much employee recognition at most levels
Seem to be a lot of HR complaints
Lots of transitional problems between old hires, management, & new hires
Luck of the draw as to whether you'll work with a hostile &/or poorly managed group or a decent group (company seems to look the other way as long as the money flows)
Very limited industry
Most of the work consists of endless reports that seem more suited as admin tasks - very little real technical/engineering work
Bogged down in almost daily meeting after meeting which seem to accomplish little real work
Appears proposals which aren't supposed to be billed per clients request seem to be billed into other parts of projects
Company appears to be all about image but behind the scenes seems more about CYA, filling in the squares, and money
