Pros

Staff at the coal face delivering for their Clients sure excellent and a huge asset.

Cons

- “Death by Timesheet” culture that arrives with the new American owners. - Accountancy/ Finance driven and dominated decision making process from the Senior Leadership Team, none of whom are fee earning, work-winning or indeed Client-facing! - Risk averse SLT in the extreme to the point that they turn superb work away as they don’t believe in or trust and empower their staff to deliver for their Clients. - American Corporate Consultancy giant culture being brought into play by owners TetraTech who are still making their mind up what to do with the business and how to change it to what they want to do. - Appalling pay rises- lack thereof- to high performing teams who repeatedly delivered for them, and definitely one rule for certain parts of the business that had the CEO’s ear, than for others.

Pros

Immediate coworkers and supervisors were serious and supportive. As a junior employee, it was a great opportunity to learn from them. I was incentivized to develop, seek mentors, and learn new skills. Transparency within the team was excellent. Very happy to have opened my career-switch at Tetra Tech.

Cons

Sometimes disorganized. Difficult to work with other internal entities. Mediocre pay. Became difficult to compete on projects.
