Pros

Nice, usually helpful colleagues. Company has a great reputation in geospatial field. Business development/PMs are very good. The company

Cons

Technical managers weren't great, some would pressure staff to bill fewer hours than worked. Middle management would try to keep salaries lower, resulting in some under-qualified hires who could be a headache to deal with professionally. High turnover among experienced staff who weren't Woolpert lifers.

Pros

Employees are passionate about their work and their customers. Flexibility is really great, the ability to work remotely when so many other companies are forcing people back to the office is a big plus. People are genuinely nice and want to help each other which is not something you find at every company.

Cons

A lot of change, but that is to be expected with how much the company is growing.

Pros

Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

Cons

The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.
