Carollo Engineers, Inc.

I wish I had better things to say other than this company has nice people is a great place to learn from the people who are experts in a subject area and are willing to share. Nice people are great to have but it’s not the only factor to stay at a company.

As far as management and advancement goes, you may come in at a decent level and salary, but advancement opportunities are few and far between.  There is a career development program (CDP) that is prescriptive but it is essentially not reviewed since the decision for your advancement is predetermined anyway.  The CDP is more of checking a box and a way for your manager to tell you that you could do more.

I have never worked at a company where office managers are given so much power to the point that they determine salaries.  To me that is backwards. I have found many of the office managers to be entitled, elitist, and play favorites.

While Carollo is in a growth phase, resources are poorly managed to the point that there is very little work-life balance.  

A typical day at carollo engineers consisted of getting busy as soon as you arrive. Management of the other hand wasn't very good, they put very little effort into building up their design team as far as drafting goes. which I find funny because without drawings you can't build your buildings. Workplace is really formal and stuffy hardest part of the job was talking to some of the upper management because they think they know at all really uncomfortable and stuffy talking to you the older upper management the most enjoyable part of the day was 4:30 p.m. shutting down my computer getting ready to go home. Overall I would not suggest working at this company unless you come from a an uptight formal stuffy background.

Most enjoyable part of the job was working from home.
Everyone is very passive aggressive and won’t confront you on anything.
If you have an actual concern about something, they will try their best to dismiss it or gaslight you.
It’s just your regular corporate job that is run by men.
More men work here than women. Also, not a lot of POC work here.

During my workday, I reviewed sewers to make sure that they did not have any cracks or leaks. I also reviewed engineering drawings; looking for mistakes. Lastly, I printed out lots of documents and put them in binders for the engineers. 

Since this was my first official job, I learned how to balance work and school at the same time, and became great with time management. 

The hardest part of the job was looking at the sewers for long periods of time because it was very tedious. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was making the binders because it was great exercise walking to and from the printer.

Carollo has many opportunities based on having a breadth of water-related projects due to being a sole expert in the water industry; however, resources throughout the company are not properly managed and it is very easy to get stuck doing uninteresting work.  There is lack of connectivity between the offices so project opportunities are typically based on what type of work your office does.

Family atmosphere, strong company.
Typical day consists of:
Oversees the development of marketing proposals.
Tailor document templates based on submission requirements.
Facilitating the proposal review process and guiding production of the final draft.
Prepare meeting logistics, including preparing agendas, taking and distributing meeting minutes, making reservations, ordering food service, setting up the meeting space, and preparing materials as needed.

Great office atmosphere run by engineers with a wealth of knowledge about water engineering. Learned a lot about the industry especially the balancing act of bidding for government contracts.

Loved everything about the company and the people. They have great leadership and are just a great company all around. Only complaint is low pay and very little opportunity for growth as it is such a large company

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great opportunity, but could not find a good fit for me. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As someone who always worked on site, learning to work from home was a real challeng.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very positive and welcoming group of professionals

The best company I've ever worked for, high end quality and focused on employee culture. Doing things the right way. Great management that empowers employees on all levels in positions of leadership. Great leadership program and onboarding process. Mentorship is available. Career Development available. A company that strives to be the best in the country
