American Structurepoint

Overall, American Structurepoint is a good place to work. You have the opportunity to work on some intricate projects and put your skills to use. I have gotten along with almost everyone that I work with, and people on my team have always gone out of their way to help when it is needed. Similar to what I see in other consulting firms, much of the success is based on how efficiently we can turn around quality plans along with staying in budget and meeting client requests. With that said, much of what you learn is on the fly, and expectations can be left up to interpretation and lead to indecisiveness and conflict. However, management does listen if you are willing to speak up. They have definitely become more receptive to feedback, and I feel that they are trying to change the culture to feeling more like an actual person rather than just  number. 

The company has all of the must-haves in place to seem like a good company that does care about their employees. And there are many ways in which those benefits are beneficial. But when it comes down to it, all they seem to want is production, no matter what it does to their employees. And there seems to be someone who always wants someone else to take the blame. It seems very much to be a finger-pointing rather than collaborative culture. Workloads are excessive and deadlines are often ignored until the last minute by decision makers or contributors. Overall - it seemed to be an extremely stressful environment, even when deadlines should have dictated otherwise. The “good” culture seems manufactured, using the people that do care and try to do good as a company banner. Even though these opportunities are provided, they don’t honestly seem to reflect the company management’s perspectives in the way their employees are actually treated.

The Investigative Group is plagued with insanely unreasonable workloads and ridiculous deadlines. Management treats employees like dirt, almost as though they are flies that are being swatted away. Ambiguous and inconsistent last minute deadlines that force people to work extremely long hours. People are quick to throw their subordinates under the bus to cover up for their own failures. Very high employee turnover - people are leaving in droves. Because of which the company always appears to have plenty of work, but the real reason is due to the company's inability to retain employees.

American Structurepoint is a company full of skilled and experienced professionals, but it is less than ideal as a place for new engineers to grow their skill set and receive assistance in their development as a professional. 

There is a distinct lack of structure in ASI's training and knowledge is gained sporadically and opportunistically; an employee may be expected to understand concepts which they have never encountered previously immediately and flawlessly, with little room for error. 

Additionally, ASI's management has questionable financial forecasting practices which impact profit projections, 401k matching rates, and employee hours expectations. Prospective employees should be prepared to work 50+ hours per week, even when their project is not due soon.

It’s amazing this company has never been sued. Their due diligence is horrible and they cut corners everywhere they can. From degrading comments made by their environmental manager, to not providing OSHA required safety equipment, do not work here. Management is controlled by a group of about 20 white men over 50 who get handsome salaries while watching their underpaid staff work routine overtime. They fire people on the spot to make up for lulls in their income. 

This is a great place to work. Senior management is excellent and lead the company through covid crisis very well. My direct management is involved with me and my success. They listen and discuss ideas where improvement can be made. 

Everyone is stressed at this company. The company expects high work hours for little pay. They expect you to work fast for cheap while ensuring high quality, which is impossible, which thus leads to a high rate of turnover from employee burnout. Their benefits are the lowest that I have seen in the current work environment. Lastly, employee growth is stymied by a strict hierarchical structure.

Nothing too excited to for the company, I have a good mix of experience last year in the company. A big issue with staffing management where about 7 people were sent to work on my project and then they relocated even though my project only needed three people but they kept changing staff.

Company was an excellent place to work.  Staff was friendly and helpful.  My position was unique to me and fit my professional needs at that time.  Many benefits and perks to employees offered.

Though I only worked there for 2 months as a summer intern, it was a great experience. The people were all very easy to work with, and the hours were very flexible.
