Golder Associates Reviews

Pros

Great work condition and atmosphere

Cons

The location of the office was far

Pros

Happy friendly work atmosphere, safe environment, they pay overtime and won't force field work on you

Cons

Massive disconnect between juniors and senior principals.. intermediates are not given the opportunity to defend juniors and juniors do not receive feedback from seniors. Lots of turn over, and senior management lacks attention to detail, so with all the people coming and going there is a lack of check and balance and mistakes go unnoticed, hire new people and press start again

Pros

Employee ownership, great mentors, exciting projects.

Cons

Some travel may be required.

Pros

Interesting work, but you start out competing with colleagues for the work

Cons

People are motivated by being worried about lay offs. This results in an inability to effectively team up and put people forward for specific project tasks who are most suited. I feel clients do not get the quality as all available work goes to those who have been there the longest, not to those who are most experienced or suitable.

Pros

- Lots of interesting project work - Work with international experts in their field - Great, competent people to work with - Strong focus on technical professional development - Flat management structure - Employee-owned company

Cons

- Exactly at or below market pay - Few opportunities for business or management minded individuals - Few managers (1:100 employees) results in little support for individual employees - Very numbers and business-driven, with minimal focus on employee morale

Pros

Lots of opportunity, career advancement available, lots of smart colleagues, company share options

Cons

No pay increase as you advance (if you ask for more money you are told we had a bad financial year), expected to travel and work weekends last minute, disconnect between management and workers, all Golder U training courses have been eliminated, hiring rate of pay is the same as 10 years ago
