Great Opportunity on Exciting Projects, But Promotions Due to Favoritism - Mep Engineer Mortenson Employee Review

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

There was a lot of exciting projects to work on and you can really learn a lot. The upper leadership (CEO and Owner) are great people, and you can easily connect with them.

Cons

If you are not white who is not part of the "clicky cool white" club and kissing up to the senior management, forget about promotions. The promotions are mainly by favoritism and preference to whites over Latin, Black, and or Brown folks.

Business outlook

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
