PE owned Engineering Firm - Doesn't value the Human Capital (People)

Anonymous employee

Pros

It was the People and the tenure of staff. That is eroding very fast as King Engineering Associates/Ardurra Group grows (with the PEs blessing).

Cons

The Company doesn't have any Mission or Vision and the Values are all tongue and cheek. Human Capital is not valued for the skills/abilities that you bring to the table unless you meet certain (unprofessionally described) criteria. Diversity of thought , Diversity of action, Diversity in general are all missing from the Company. False statements, false actions and false behavior ring true in the work environment - unwritten, inconsistent fringe benefits depending who likes and why.

Ardurra Response

Dear former employee. I am sorry you feel that way. Ardurra-King is indeed a rapidly expanding firm (ranked #4 on Zweig's Hot Companies List in 2018), and that kind of growth requires adaptive change to meet the needs of the growing business. I do disagree that we do not value and recognize the value of human capital; as a professional services firm, we know that it is the core of our business (truly the only thing we sell). We have been making real investments to meet the operational challenges of operating as a larger firm, both in terms of making new strategic hires and acquisitions to grow the business in a very deliberate way, and with respect to investing in technologies to support our professionals in their day-to-day jobs. I realize change can be hard and sometimes we do lose good people because of it, but we are 100% committed to our employees, their development (personally and professionally), and we are acutely focused on expanding our diversity initiatives to continue building a strong and diverse workforce. I wish you much luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

Large company with many locations

Cons

Private equity backed, profit appears to be most important. Acquires new smaller firms very frequently and growing too fast to be a cohesive company.

They are blocking everything

Pros

Um..... I got a small raise......

Cons

They are blocking everything on our computers, slowing everything down, When I work on any project that is complex, I want to pull my hair out because everything goes so slow. Increased work load from people quitting with little raises to accompany the inceased work........
