Short Elliott Hendrickson Reviews

Leadership is a good old boys club and does not treat women equally to their male equivalent counterparts. Extreme nepotism occurs between RPCLs and their direct reports. If you're a woman, there are better places that support you whereas this company will treat you like a woman with outlandish assumptions of women characteristics such as "you're too sensitive" or "why have children if you can't hold a job and take care of them". The company could be great if they would cut the ties with one regional leader who cannot manage effectively and hopes problems will solve themselves. This translates into more than 50 percent turnover in the last 5 years. And if you're a woman in that region, best of luck.

Unfortunately it took me a while to realize that the director of my department was treating me like his secretary. I would draft meeting agendas for him, take notes during his meetings, type up minutes, edit reports, make copies of things... it was very rare for me to do any actual civil engineering design outside of AutoCAD markups. I knew if I stayed there, I wouldn't get the experience I needed to eventually pass my PE exam.
