I left here a couple of years ago now and I can honestly say it was the best move I ever made. Project managers in this place must be under an extreme workload and they quite happily pass the stress down to surveyors and analysts. The more you do the more they take advantage. The management are workaholics and dont care if you are not they will push and push you until you or the system breaks. Its great for getting trained up but leave and go somewhere else where you will be respected and valued as to them you are just a number unless you are in the inner circle. In fact I was called a monkey by senior management when I overheard a conversation they were having about the staff - we were all disposable monkeys!

The upper management only cares about their bonus. Any trip/ work reimbursement is discouraged because that will be taken away from the end-of-year bonus pool. 

Don't care about you at all. It's always about how you can achieve 40 billable hours.  If you can't be productive because you are new, they will tell you you need to make up and work tons of extra hours. This company management level yells at people. 
New york and Houston office, all emplyees are treated badly.

A typical day involved high pressure, unpaid overtime, and unclear priorities. I learned to work fast under stress. Management was unsupportive, turnover was high, and contracts felt insecure. The hardest part was job instability; the enjoyable part was collaborating with a few good teammates.

I've worked at Indeed for two years, and I am so grateful I was hired. This culture is so positive, caring, and so many people have gone out of their way to help me. The company truly cares about your career and where you want to go. The managers have so many conversations with you about what motivates you to help you achieve your goals. After every event, Q&A, all-hands, there's an option to leave feedback and the feedback is actually read and action is taken. This is for other reviews, disregard

I have worked at SOCOTEC for 7 years, starting as a Graduate Engineer and progressing to Senior Geologist level. 

There is a great team ethos within the office and wider company with plenty of opportunities to learn and develop. 

I work with some outstanding people and the focus on Quality and Health and Safety, is in my opinion, second to none. 

The worst part of the job is the amount of concrete you must testing on site construction. 
They give you training,van and equipment.
Salary is not very good but you can earn more money by doing overtime almost every day and working Saturday's and Sunday's they pay double.

Great place to work good commutation at all levels.
Good Benefits for employees
Good work life balance
Understood and feel listened too
Great support network for mental health


Socotec is a great place to work, with all personalities and with a relaxed work environment and enjoyable atmosphere. I would highly recommend Socotec to a friend or to someone who is looking to go into the construction industry.

Socotec has great oppertunities to progress. Starting from the bottom and in time progressing to management level. Be sent on courses/Training. Can work abroad.

Absolutely awful experience, bullied out by intimidated management, when raising any concerns you soon end up out of the door. Unethical management. As all companies, some good and honest people, morales seem to go when the career ladder is climbed.
