WALTER P MOORE

The company as a whole is a phenomenal organization of incredibly knowledgeable and ethical people. The majority of the company has incredible people, including the CEO and senior leadership. My manager, however, was nothing like that. This person had an explosive temper, was physically aggressive (micro-aggressions, as they're called in the HR world), and has no business managing people. I never went to HR because the messenger always gets shot; it's just fact. Better to move on to a more positive environment, which I did.

Each day is different.  It is a fast-paced environment and requires the ability to be flexible and change priorities.  Deadlines can be very short and clients demanding. I have learned to work well under pressure and to take orders from multiple bosses.

The most difficult part of the position is not always having enough hours in a day. As a can-do person, this can be frustrating. 

I enjoy the people I work with.

A typical day here consisted of working with a mentor and other interns in meetings where concept designs were created, discussed, and evaluated. The environment here gave me the opportunity to learn and increase skills such as time-management and critical thinking. The most enjoyable part here is that it gave you the opportunity to take a leadership role to achieve group and individual goals.

Lots of stuff to learn, they expect you to put in efforts which involve a lot of self learning, which is definitely a good thing. Many events like birthday celebration, festivals, happy hours. Usually people are laid back and timings are flexible as long as you put in your hours. The performance review was a bit of a puzzler though; could be more honest and let the employee know the actual reason of an average rating. Kinda diplomatic.

Walter P Moore cares about their employees. they show this with profit sharing, pay raises, various seminars, meetings, luncheons and in office entertainment. There are long work days, but accomplishments are celebrated. Unfortunately the company relies heavily on major construction projects, so they suffered during the recession.

Not the best place to work in.
You can come up with unique solutions to problems time and time again and each time watch as others take credit for your work and let you know they will do so

The building is located in Downtown Houston, and it is part of the Houston Center. What I love most about the company is that the people working there are very knowledgeable at what they do, and that the company encourages an active yet enjoyable working environment.

WPM is a good office to work at for engineers. Their management is in Houston which sometimes provide challenges, but they have interesting projects. Great for young structural engineers.

you will get to work on fun projects like stadiums or airports! No one really leaves the company for years meaning it's a good place to work. But that also means younger engineers do a lot of work and get paid less and it will take them longer to get to managerial roles

when I started working at Walter P moore it was in a new discipline for me and they helped me learn it and I taught them micro-station, since at the time they had no one in that department who knew it. It was a good group of people and a very professional atmosphere.
