DOWL Reviews

Welcome to DOWL and thanks for the positive feedback.

Thanks for the review. Yes, given the the high latitude and elevation locations of some of our great offices, the construction season is highly variable. May through October the pace can be frantic at times. Enjoy the winter break and we will be back in construction season before we know it.... MoreLess

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with DOWL. We wish you nothing but the best going forward and hope you find happiness and peace. And all of us in management agree that Lynn Bruno is a talented leader with much to offer the company.... MoreLess

Sounds like you have a generally positive experience as you on-boarded with DOWL. Transitioning into a company is always difficult as you look to make a difference and hit the ground running. If you have specific observations on how management and People Department could facilitate this transition, I encourage you to reach out to me or our Chief People Officer. DOWL thirsty for great ideas regarding how we can continually improve.... MoreLess

First, thanks for the comments about DOWL's strong reputation and the variety of projects your were exposed to. We strive to create a work environment that drifts way from the mundane and ordinary . Variety is the spice of life! And, thanks for acknowledging our atypical approach to measuring and following the contribution of exempt employees, not the time that they choose to be away from work. I believe it is one of the features that makes our company special.

I am sorry that you left under less than ideal circumstances and that you would not recommend DOWL. Because these comments are "blind", I cannot speak to your experience directly. However, I will acknowledge that we do occasionally work long days and nights to meet the demands of our clients and projects (it should not be the norm). And, we may have some managers that are learning on the job as they are being "brung up" by their mentors and managers. The notion that there are folks in one of our flagship offices that set you up to fail is unacceptable. I will discuss the issue with our ANC leadership to dig a bit deeper and root this behavior out if it exists.

Thanks for taking the time to share your observations to help DOWL get better.... MoreLess

Thanks for your service to the company. The accounting function is an important position at DOWL and in any engineering firm, and we attempt to compensate our folks at a level that recognizes this contribution. The tempo of our business in accounting and other support areas does tend to be high at times, and may not be comfortable for everyone.... MoreLess

Thanks for the positive comments. We aspire to be the biggest small company in the Western U.S. Regarding flexibility, it is our desire to change and evolve with social pressures and demographics and culture, while at the same time always being there for our clients and our teammates. Our People Department tries to stay on top of emerging trends in the workplace, and make recommendations that strengthen the company and enhance our ability to serve our clients.... MoreLess
