Seeing the recent mass exodus of engineers that have worked here for 5, 10 , 15 and 20 years is a definite indication that there is something wrong with this company. When multiple department heads resign you know that the members of the board of directors, the advisory board and the operations board (the majority of which are non-billable) are doing a poor job and are out of touch with people in the actual work flow. These boards care about billable hours and that is it. They don’t care if engineers are properly trained if they did technical training would be provided. They don’t care if projects are understaffed or if projects have engineers who are not competent working on them - which they do. If they did care engineers wouldn’t quit because they are working 20-40 hours a week of overtime on design-builds. I’ve seen a lot of good engineers quit recently and it is unfortunate because that means that It will be harder for JMT to produce quality work. My advice to recent engineering graduates looking for a job is to find somewhere else to work. If not be prepared to teach yourself how to do your job. I regret the time that I’ve spent working here. I’m currently looking for a new place of employment and will be delighted when I no longer work here. 

There are a lot of interesting projects and talented people. A lot of pride in good deliverables. If you are lucky, you could learn a lot.  It's a high stress, high production place without a lot of support. There are good benefits in terms of PTO, medical, and retirement. 

It's not for everyone, it is very outdated with a preference for the good old boys and girls. It is tough to get recognition unless you are part of the insiders group, which certainly cuts a certain way whether it's at the golf club, shooting range ,or old fashioned nepotism. Since leaving,  I have been afforded more personal opportunities, rewarded and recognized for my hard work. I would say for some people of a certain backgrounds, it's a good place to get some experience, but unless you want to be stuck at the bottom, because the leaders do not think people like you are the right kind of people, move on once you get enough experience. Your future here will be limited. 

This company offers a supportive environment for those in administrative or managerial roles. However, for team members in production or design, the structure can present some challenges. The organization tends to be management-heavy, which can result in production staff being spread thin across multiple projects—sometimes working with several project managers simultaneously.

Opportunities for advancement are primarily based on tenure rather than merit, which can limit growth potential for newer or younger employees. There also appears to be a gap in mid- to senior-level design leadership, which can place added pressure on junior staff and lead to burnout.

While the company has some strengths, especially in its leadership and administrative functions, it may benefit from reassessing its operational balance and support systems for production roles. Addressing these areas could help improve long-term retention and overall team satisfaction.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My coworkers at JMT were always super helpful and very sharp. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
At times, it was difficult to know if there would be projects since I was on a mgr on the Federal side working with Federal contracts. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
My boss was great! He was knowledgeable, helpful and checked in with the right amount of frequency. I felt autonomous enough to not be micromanaged, yet management was always available to help me whenever I needed that extra help. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Check-in with my manager since he was 2 hours away, review schedule for calls with and for the client, write up and update reports and cc all the appropriate parties.

Egos, management issues, Backstabbing employees, Overworked and underpaid for my experience, Insurance costs fee in every paycheck for not getting biometric tests, lack of leadership in management always dropped the ball on projects for problems to arise, bullied on the job and lost my employment because of it, and management did nothing nor HR

Management is horrible! They say they want to help, but in reality, they don't. No say in where you go for work. Leave for travel to other states on Sundays and don't come back till Friday nights, all the while not getting overtime. If you go over your allotted hours, watch out! Gaslighting is common and management sticks up for management, even if they were wrong. Very high turnover rate. Expected to work when sick and in unsafe environments, all while being alone in the field. Please, don't work here!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work and the industry is great. The staff are fantastic.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management doesn’t work to promote leaders in certain departments. If you work in a shared service role, like marketing or accounting, you’re not taken seriously or treated like an expert. Management is in silos and doesn’t talk. No consistency. Hard to advance in non STEM roles.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
For engineers, good. Support staff, not so much 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The work is fine. It’s the leadership that lacks

I would have to write a book longer than the Old Testament to quantify my gripes with this company. I have never felt so manipulated and taken advantage of in my life. HR will treat you like a social pariah for inquiring about anything related to the benefits that you pay for. They put plenty of effort into their feel good image and messaging, but there is little follow through on actually taking care of the people. 

JMT is, in my opinion, typical of the consultant engineering companies who contract with state agencies.  Their benefit packages are similar, and wages are within a fixed range  that is underwhelming.  Despite the mediocre wages, JMT management expects a huge chunk of employee work/life balance, with weekend emails and at home work commonplace.  Despite the unreasonable demands placed on employee time and effort, JMT is less than forthcoming regarding timely reimbursement of travel expenses incurred.  My advice is to steer clear.

The typical day at work is a quality control and quality assurance inspection. Inspected construction activities to confirm the work is done according to contract documents, specification and standards. Company management style is awesome. I enjoyed taking the training that the company offered. The hardest part is working in a project that comes to an end at some time and the job security is not guaranteed
