Pros

Day to day I knew I'd get an opportunity to contribute, be heard, and further my career. The team there works well together and everyone does their best to get the job done.

Cons

Knowing "big brother" was sometimes watching was a morale killer. New policies were much better.

Atlantic Response

Thank you for your review and comments. I am so happy to see that you felt heard during your time at Atlantic. That is something we have really focused on during the past several years. When times are tough, the economy is down, and the world is responding to something that is not our fault, our people are what matters. Listening to our employees is the sole reason we pivoted on our "big brother" technology. It was setup with good intentions - to make sure everyone was able to stay working from home while the world was shut down for COVID. Once I heard how it was being utilized by some of our managers, we quickly moved to strip it from non IT-management staff. That is a great example of listening to our people, I think. I hope your time here was filled with challenges and opportunities to grow professionally. We wish you nothing but greatness for your continued career in the geospatial field, and appreciate the time you spent at Atlantic to help us grow and improve each day. Again, thank you for your review and feedback.

Pros

I was part of the growth of Atlantic. We had a great team from our field staff, our technical staff, and management too.

Cons

COVID and slowdown of government contracting really stunted our growth and forced me to look elsewhere.

Pros

Absolutely wonderful all-around individuals working there, loved everyone that I worked with and for. The nature of the work this company does is also incredibly fascinating, lots of very cool projects were worked on and completed during my time employed there. While no job is perfect, I am, overall, grateful for my time with Atlantic - I learned so much, grew tremendously in my skills and experience as a professional, and loved the people there, both as excellent co-workers and teammates and just as individuals in general.

Cons

Upper management style was not ideal - very misleading and\or withholding of information pertinent to the company's overall standing\well-being. There was an unsustainable and generally detrimental lack of communication between upper management and everyone else - this ultimately led to egregious miscommunications and misunderstandings (about everything: workforce capabilities, realistic budget proposals, technical workflows, etc.) between the different departments, the different members of middle management, the individuals of the technical\production team(s), etc. Everyone was (unknowingly) left to work with partial information - and often different pieces of partial information - that was inadequate to properly communicate and subsequently facilitate correct and efficient execution of tasks required to meet project specifications, deadlines, budgetary limitations, and so on. This led to so much unnecessary confusion at all levels, and the amount of time wasted trying to sort out said confusion and correcting\re-doing [often exquisite] work (that was only done incorrectly due to lack of clear instructions and\or understanding of a project's scope of work) was easily the majority of overall time spent on any and every project. The made for a very frustrating and stressful work environment and had it not been for the wonderful spirits, attitudes, and abilities of the individuals working there, this company would have a) gone under long ago and b) been a nightmare of a daily environment to work in.
