The work here is diverse and varied but not particularly challenging most of the time. Can become quite boring. But, if you’re dedicated to civil engineering it’s a consulting company with diverse opportunities to learn about many different projects. 

The compensation is hourly. This helps with overtime being properly compensated for, but makes average working days less enjoyable: everyone is so focused on getting home ASAP they usually work through lunch and socialization is rare. I’ve personally gone days hardly speaking to anyone outside of a teams meeting. Hard to feel like one’s part of a community with that kind of work culture.

Largely, it seems entry level people do not have to pull overtime often, but the opposite is true of PMs. I’ve heard several talk about working weekends. 

Finally, management is lacking. It seems project managers are promoted based on their ability to acquire new work/clients and not necessarily their ability to actually manage people. Projects often lack clear guidance or focus because there’s never one single person able to organize the team together or define timelines clearly. If you’re below PM level, expect to be referencing project contracts frequently to make sure you’re allocating time/effort accordingly to projects rather than getting guidance from a PM. Basically, you’ll be managing yourself most of the time even though you're supposed to have PMs for each project. 


As someone who values transparent and efficient communication, my experience with WSB has been quite disappointing. Despite agreeing to receive follow-up calls, they consistently dodged callbacks, leaving me in the dark regarding crucial information.
Initially, I was optimistic about our collaboration, as they assured me of their accessibility for further discussions. However, it became evident that their commitment to this promise was lacking. Each attempt to reach out for follow-up information was met with evasion and screening of my calls.
This behavior not only reflects poorly on their professionalism but also undermines the trust and mutual respect necessary for a successful working relationship. In today's fast-paced world, effective communication is paramount, and unfortunately, WSB falls short in this aspect.
For individuals considering opportunities with WSB, I would advise approaching with caution, especially if clear and timely communication is essential to you.

Large Office, young coworkers, lots of different divisions to explore different opportunities, management is negligent on both a team scale and corporate. Ignorant or just don't care about the fact that they are growing faster than they can handle which has lead to a mass of people leaving. The higher ups see their acquisitions as an opportunity to make money rather than an actual chance to expand and become better. Departments like accounting, HR, IT, and app dev have chosen to leave because they are over worked and unheard. The corporate ladder involves pushing others down so that you stand out and they care more about how you show yourself at their events rather than the hard work you do. It is a popularity contest and a review of numbers on paper. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Company is not worth the trouble. They hired over 100 people to work for them. Then cut us not even 6 months later. My productivity was where they wanted it. But yet they cut half of their employees with no warning nothing. Just that’s it for you. Horrible company to work for. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knocking on random peoples doors, trying to tell them you work for Centerpoint when Centerpoint tells the homeowners we don’t. Not having a supervisor who would back you up when the police were called. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful. Every day you’re walking on egg shells worried about meeting productivity. Even if you still make productivity, if you’re not buddy buddy with the supervisor they’ll fire you.

This company is full of inspectors that are only out for themselves. They will smile in your face. Then stab you In the back  before  you can even turn around. They do whatever it takes  to further their careers and business even if it means you losing your job, or possibly your own house. because they don’t care as long as they move up and make a name. If you can prove them wrong they are the ones who write up the documents and take the photos. So protect yourselves and take pictures of everything and record all conversations. Because just knowing your right means nothing in their eyes. It’s companies like this that are ruining other good companies, as well as employees.

I had a great time and experience at WSB, everyone here was so willing to help me with anything. Everyone was fun and kind to talk to, we even had games in the office to lower stress/provide a break. There is also a huge emphasis on work/life balance as hours are somewhat flexible, with most people taking a half day on Fridays. Overall, I loved my experience here, the culture is great and filled with even better people. I genuinely had fun at work and learned a lot from experienced professionals. 

After working for EST inc. for 3 years, I have seen a loss in overall production and more turnover in management than a revolving door. The workers do not want to learn new skills in other areas and have no motivation to help others with daily tasks if they are overworked. 
Leadership pays very little attention to each lab and a person could go days or weeks without speaking to anyone. They value profits over team building and training. 
CEO son worked along side me and went two weeks without showing up or notifying management.

I found the culture very unsupportive. You're pretty much left on your own without help from supervisors. Have to have a strong ability to work independently as most work is done on your own. Also I didn't have my own workload which was very frustrating leaving for alot of downtime where I worried I would get fired for not doing anything. Terrible work life balance. Expect you to be on call and call you all hours if the day. Would definitely not work there again.

It was a security job so typical day of work was walking around and making sure the area is properly secured. I also learned the technics on how to execute a security work. The management could be more flexible and supportive of the emplyees and also spliciting ideas from employees to make the work environment better. Lovely co-workers and the most enjoyable part of the job was having a job and going to work.
