Golder Associates Reviews

As an organisation - poor. Worst career move of my life. In truth. I am now much more critical and cynical as a result. Did not do what it said on the tin. At all. If I had more sense I might have left, or called a lawyer in to aid my cause. But you want to keep the faith with these guys... til the bitter end. Inward facing, run on egos and poor ethos. Reluctance to diversify, delegate or promote talent. Unconscious (and conscious bias) everywhere... and I mean throughout the international system and seemingly swept under the carpet. It seems to me the positive reviews are from those still in the company that want to encourage new people to join which is fair enough, because there is some good talent in there.. but be mindful the company has not yet found a happy place. There has been a period of blatant denial by senior staff of changing markets, clear issues with pay inequality between individuals and work imbalance between departments. Poor leadership. I mean its not unique in its problems, but its just do far removed from what this company thinks it is... or maybe was ten years ago.

Don't expect a supportive environment. Management style is poor. Managers are often in positions due to length of service and are incompetent at managing people. 'Breadcrumbing' to junior staff is common place.
