This is a company that is composed of good people who want to do good things, whether that be in the workplace, for clients, or in the community. Feedback is not only appreciated, but implemented. I highly doubt there is another engineering firm in North Carolina with a company culture that mirrors WithersRavenel. Through the CO-VID19 pandemic, emphasis on employee wellness and corporate communication has been handled incredibly well, including a seamless work from home transition for all.

As far as professional development, the learning opportunities are endless. Working in a multidisciplinary firm allows you to truly see how a "team" works as a team and is a rewarding experience. I'm proud to work at WR and would recommend it those whose who channel a collaborative spirit.

The culture at Withers prioritizes people first. Everyone is willing to help each other, and mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities instead of failures. I am 6 months in to my career at Withers, having just graduated from college, and I have worked on a huge variety of projects since starting here, including a good amount of field work. I would say that the variety of work I've been exposed to and the amount of hands-on learning opportunities I've had is second-to-none in the consulting water/wastewater industry. The mentoring I have received from project managers has been a secure foundation for growth and career development. These factors combine to give me the sense that the work I'm doing really makes a difference to the company, our clients, and the community.

Our People. Your Success. This describes a day at WithersRavenel. Working together in a team environment to make our clients' vision come to reality. My teammates are vested in the success of our clients and also for each other. I have earned that by working to make others successful, I become more fulfilled and successful. Since we are now a 100% ESOP, we all do benefit directly from our collective success. Company management makes an effort to ensure we exemplify our core values in all we do. They also provide time for team building, professional development and also personal development but not at the expense of our clients. It is a challenge to achieve the right balance and the WR team continuously works towards that. A great place to work because of great teammates and great clients!

There is a lack of process and procedure. Training and direction from the start is non existent. My skills are under utilized and although they say they want the right people in the right seats, my assigned work continues to be well below my experience level. There is an obvious "favorites" vibe with always the same people calling the shots. Some people can get away with anything. The benefits are subpar compared to other companies I have worked for. BCBS IS HORRIBLE! Consider trying something else. The company is doing well and it is a decent place to work compared to other options. People are nice but sometimes very fake. I gave them 3 stars after weighing the good with the bad.

For a 30-plus year old company, WithersRavenel is a very employee-centric, energetic and dynamic firm.  Management is always looking for better ways to keep "management overhead" to a minimum. This allows project managers and field personnel to remain focused on their projects and work quality.  Lots of employee activities and "fun stuff" for everyone to enjoy, and a very hard emphasis on maintaining life/work balance.  I have never been with a firm where folks mention our core values in the course of normal conversation on a daily basis.  I would definitely recommend WR to those looking for a step up in their careers!

WithersRavenel has a great corporate culture. Everyone here knows and truly stands by the company's core values: respect, community, quality, integrity, and sustainability. The people I work with here  I consider to be like a family. There is an open-communication management style that I appreciate, and as a 100% employee-owned company, I really feel like I make a difference in the day-to-day operations and success overall. This company is a great place for anyone looking to "put down roots" to grow along side colleagues and be proud of where you work.

They have no clue what they are doing in the SUE department. The SUE manager doesn’t know how to bid jobs. He will bid them for one day when it’s really a 3 or 4 day job. Then he will blame you for not getting it done in his wrong bid amount of time. The project manager is an alcoholic and two faced. He thinks he knows everything but does not. He once told me that there is no way a telephone cable can be 11’ deep. Haha! Their locating methods make no sense. Do not waste your time with this place. They will try to recruit you with a little more money but they don’t offer trucks to take home, then fire you for no good reason.

WR is an outstanding company to work for. The people here truly care about creating a successful engineering firm through positive culture, transparent communication from corporate down, hard work, and dedication. Management promotes a healthy work-life balance and fosters each employee's career development. WR provides adequate compensation and is constantly seeking employee input on ways to improve benefits, culture, communication, and more. Every day, I enjoy the engineering work I do and more importantly; the people I work with.

WR fully embraces a collaborative and engaging work environment.  I see collaboration on display on a daily basis.  No matter what position you hold, you are surrounded by employee owners who truly want to work alongside you to help you succeed no matter what point in your career you are in.  I love that part about WR!  We are truly all in, all the time.

There was plenty of work, & it seemed like I could never catch up to management’s daily demands. Some stressful & demanding executives who also don’t know what they truly want from each task or assignment nor do they know how to get some of the logistics figured out. Culture is important, and there are very nice people there for the most part. However, women are didefinintely treated like secretaries even when they are not assigned as such.
