Pros

Decent benefits. Offer reimbursement for ARE Exams. Mostly remote work. Can collaborate with different disciplines directly in the company. HR is transparent

Cons

Growing at an exponential rate, through acquisition. Focus mainly on work that is most profitable, not much freedom for design

Pros

Great peer to peer relationships

Cons

Dysfunctional management, no clear career growth. Left this company own my own terms last year due to toxic leadership and will never return. Consistently worked 50-60 hour weeks with consistent travel. Additionally, it looks like someone (assuming they are from HR) has put in fake 5 star reviews - pretty easy to spot. Woolpert. Do better.

Pros

Great culture, global footprint, technology-focused AEG firm that cares about the employees. Geospatial is at the core of the business, but there is also a big focus on engineering and architecture design. From designing airport and cruise terminals to data centers, creating digital twins of countries to precision monitoring, BIM to bathymetry; Woolpert brings unique capabilities to our clients and provides numerous opportunities to staff. This is the only PE backed firm that I am aware of that enables company ownership through the Principal program for employees at any stage in their career.

Cons

Bonus structure is tailored towards giving all employees an opportunity to receive a bonus based on their performance and the company's performance. Which is a good thing; but only when the bonus pool is large enough to support it.

Thank you for highlighting our culture, global reach, and unique capabilities. We’re glad the Principal program stands out as a meaningful opportunity for employees. We also appreciate your feedback on the bonus structure and will continue working to ensure it remains impactful!
