Compensation was aligned with my role and location towards the end of my time with the company, but I was still at the bottom end of the range. As is common in consulting environments, there was a strong emphasis on maintaining billable work, and employees were expected to proactively ensure consistent project allocation.

The company regularly highlighted TCW (The Collaborative Way) as a core value. However, my personal experience of the culture did not always reflect this emphasis. The office environment felt structured around productivity and financial performance, with a noticeable distinction between those in exempt versus non-exempt roles. Hourly employees, in particular, were expected to closely track and maintain billable hours throughout the day in order to maintain value as an employee. 

My direct manager and immediate team were supportive and collaborative, which I appreciated. However, I did observe management practices at higher levels that I felt could very much benefit from greater consistency and professionalism. There were situations that raised concerns among employees, and it was unclear how those concerns were addressed.

Overall, while there were positive aspects at the team level, I found that the company’s stated cultural values were not consistently reflected in day-to-day experiences.


Very low paying company, hired in as a supervisor but the superintendent pretty much wanted you to do your and his job, always smelled like alcohol,  superintendent would leave the job and leave employees there with out any supervision, would call you late at night drunk talking mess about work, safety was not there top priority,  very poor upper management is one thing I can say,  the craftsman they had working there were a1 and knew there job well, think it can be a great place to work if they get there upper management issue undercontrol and start working as a team. And not pawn everything on the foreman to do everything.

Working long hours seven-days-a-week, often in bad weather, is tough. But when you have to be away from home, it’s easier if you are busy.

The company pays for your flights to/from various projects and your housing. You are also given per diem for your meals. So far, APTIM, like CB&I, the company APTIM bought out, has always treated me well and provided good benefits. And I have gotten to meet and work with some quality people from all over.

As anyone who has spent a few decades as an employee working for a variety of companies around the country will tell you, any job has its ups and downs—even being self employed has draw backs. But on balance, my working for this company has turned out fine.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Aptim doesn’t do well with new employees. They are a bunch of old people  who have worked together for 30-40 years. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very boring not much/enough work to do. Fell asleep most of the time trying to keep busy or find something to do and the time never goes fast,

You will be lied constantly about pay raises, about career growth opportunities. They will change the rules on you to suit them to there needs and tell you “it’s the way it is and if you don’t like it leave.” There is no job training made they will have the guys that are working there train you when they have zero training as well. Be expected to be picked up for the first 6 months to a year. I highly recommend a different company to get your ldar career going.

They need to quit high and relative stop favoritism stop looking down on people and start treating people with respect their safety is lousy they have no tools and their prejudice two people that are not from around there and I am half native American was always cheated terrible I'm glad that a different contractor got in because the supervision they kept hiring bouncing from one Union contractor to the next same people same rules saying everything I'm glad that they changed

Not what you might expect working at a Federal Facility. Management was very deceptive and always helping their friends they hired personally. Good money for the most part. Some shady happenings went on and overlooked. Chances are if you messed up you were promoted. Safety department was generally on the up and up. Overall, I wouldn't work for that management team anywhere.

Aptim lacks diversity and career development. Most in leadership roles lack substance. It’s all about who you know and if you have been with the company from its legacy days. Employees are being laid off. However senior leadership is flourishing and constantly hiring high paying positions. Employees who do the actual day to day work aren’t getting opportunities for promotions or pay increases.
