Whiting-Turner reviews

All of the people in charge are older and not as open to new ideas. It is hard for a younger person to deal with because everyone higher up is very serious. The general atmosphere is very serious and there are a lot of office politics. Someone is always watching you to make sure you aren't goofing off and it's stressful having someone always watching you do your job.

Salary is not competitive. The company also keeps its employees in the dark about how profit sharing is determined. You kind of get the feeling that the large portions of profit sharing are going to the senior level managers that have constant access to the vice presidents and up. Employee performance in some cases is misrepresented to the vice presidents by the higher level managers to make them look like they are always having to clean up after you. Working 50+ hours is expected as the norm. Even longer hours are expected on projects and there is no reward for your time. Upper management makes you feel guilty when you take vacation. It is expected that you keep in touch during vacation. The company is very inconsistent in how it issues project bonuses, which is also a secret on how they are calculated. Some groups get them on every project and other groups don't do any.
