Pros

Good place to get experience and certifications. They are very good about encouraging certifications. There are some really good, talented people with a lot of potential.

Cons

Can not take anyone at their word. Multiple broken promises, things that will never materialize. Too many rules and regulations on employees. Field persons generally looked down upon as not as intellegent as others. Information is very rarely shared, no transparency. Little room to move up if at all.

So many great, smart scientist and engineers employed by Terracon!

Too many lingering employees, as specially at a management level, awaiting retirement and not accepting of new technology and methods. Lots of closed doors and limited participation in service Clients.
