Wendel Companies

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everything! You are treated with so much respect from all levels of the company it will be the greatest place you ever get to work at. The culture is just amazing and benefits are so affordable you won't believe it. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is nothing stressful at all. Your teammates will treat you so well and they are so easy to work with, you will never once be stressed out. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Amazing. The culture is "teammates first" hands down. They have these great company fundamentals that everyone follows really well and those drive this world class culture. You can count on your teammates to show up to meetings, answer your questions,  always do what they say they will do for you, and you never have to play the game to be successful here. Senior level employees never treat you poorly, they are never arrogant or condescending towards their teammates. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Super enjoyable. Your teammates are so great and helpful you don't feel like you are at work. You are treated so equally it's amazing!

This company once was well known with a great professional reputation. I chose to not believe professionals (friends) around our industry and take a chance. That was a mistake. Please speak with your professional counterparts and ask for details and experiences. These companies can't hide those. The new reputation for this firm is one that includes a toxic work environment, revolving door, where people are generally cycled through quickly. It's a good way to crush a good amount of your career.  They treat people horribly and exist in a self-serving bubble. If this review actually gets published, I encourage everyone to ask around before going there. Please don't just take my work for it. 

I am a junior year civil engineering college student. Wendel was an excellent place to intern during my sophomore summer. I worked under a PE who taught me load calcs, 3D modeling, shop drawing review, and went on site visits where I saw the process for analyzing deteriorating structural framing. I highly recommend applying to Wendel if you want to learn a lot about a specialization within the civil engineering field, whether it be structural, civil, site, energy auditing and energy efficiency, and project management. I do not have anything bad to say about Wendel. This gave me hope that engineering can be a great career choice. 

There is a wide variety of projects to work on. Wendel checks in (at least) yearly to discuss your career and what you want to be doing and tries to align your workload with what you are passionate about. Much of the staff is fun to work with and there are new challenges everyday. The new CEO has helped correct some of the culture issues previously experienced. There is job growth opportunity which is very important to me. There is also a lot of flexibility on work schedule, and a fair "work from home" policy.

This company has great potential but unfortunately the work culture is toxic and there is a lot of turnover. They have a hefty procedure for policy but it is not followed by top management making it difficult for others to enforce it and follow through. Goals are set for you but not well communicated. The “sheep” types will do much better than anyone interested in a leadership role.

Wendel is a fun and exciting place to work. The people are friendly and the work is always interesting. The job can be stressful with a high workload and a lot of responsibility, but I am always learning something new. I would definitely contend that Wendel is one of the best places to work in WNY.

Each day there was something new to do, which is not typical for an intern. I have learned how to apply my education to a working environment. Management was well organized and communicated well with the entire staff. 

Largest challenge is depth and bench strength in
some support areas.

Culture has improved of late with new CEO

Typical day tools and resources are in place to help you be successful.

New flex work policy has made a very positive impact.

I receive tons of support and feedback in my role. The management team is good to work with. I'm also allow to work independently and make my own decisions. 
I enjoy most the flexibility that my position offer. 


I would rather not give a review of this as I was laid off and was not given a severance package besides 2.5 days paid to finish the week off as there was no notice or warning of a lay off until was called into any office at mid day on a Wednesday.
