The project timeline was consistently delayed without any clear explanation or updates, causing significant disruptions and additional costs on my end. Moreover, the quality of the work was subpar. There were numerous errors in the design plans, which not only delayed the project further but also required additional expenses to correct.

Their on-site team seemed inexperienced and uncoordinated, often causing more issues than they resolved. The final deliverables were far from satisfactory, falling well short of the industry standards they claimed to uphold.

was with company for three years as support staff, given a lot of responsibility.  Supported several executives, however when company was ready to change the use of support staff the way it was dealt with somewhat not the best.  Overall I would recommend working there but be aware of favoritism and not always employee valued atmosphere.  What I did appreciate is I gained long standing working relationships and I was able to use several fellow employees as references after leaving the company due to an eventual layoff.

The accounting department is terrible.  There are some growth opportunities but very little structure.  You pretty much have to find your own niche to advance and be recognized. Hard work pays but also people who slack get to keep their job so you work double. There is a common opinion amongst employees that this company Does Not fire people so bad workers get away with their incompetence and good workers get their load for very little pay increase.  Overall ,the best benefit  is flexibility they provide. They will work around your schedule if necessary.  

The company as a whole does attempt to support technical staff and provide opportunities for growth through Project Management training, Inclusion and Diversity Initiatives, Research and Development Tournaments, and other initiatives.  However, the culture does not support work-life balance, although this can vary based on practice, office, and supervisor.  Growth in the firm past an entry level is dependant upon business development skills and not technical skills.  This does mean that if you desire this the opportunity exists if you are willing to embrace the "second 40".

Finding balance and connection

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Ambitious work environment with best in class people who are always available for questions or discussions.   

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My time is spent between the office working with my team, in field investigating projects, or with clients or at other external events.

My length of employment there (13.5 years) attests to the fact this was/is a wonderful place to work!  Great, hard working and smart people.  We balance work out with play, too.  Great summer and holiday parties, wine and cheese parties, and other office events.  We moved to California for my husband's job, or I'd still be there!

I enjoyed my short tenure at Thornton Tomasetti I learned alot in the process but I realized money is not everything, which is the first reason I took the job in the first place. 

The corporate culture demanded we work much harder than regular but with not many resources at hand. The company was more interested in profits than investing the budget to build a team that could handle all the projects it was on.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone is nice and welcoming 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing was really stressful for me there 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is Absolutely good I’d say

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would get to the site at the demanding time and start inspecting till done

Pretty great benefits and pay with a lot of growing benefits to the workplace culture. Managers are very understanding with time off and flexible work schedule. However, once you hit your peak at your career they have no further advancement for you, nor do they care enough to try and provide you professional development. You won't grow with this company unless you leave and return, which is what most people do. If you aren't an engineer, upper management has no regards for you.
