Work hard PTO hard - Senior Staff Geologist Langan Engineering and Environmental Services Employee Review
- 5.0Aug 14, 2023Senior Staff GeologistCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearNew York, NY
Pros
Great comp time system, so if you work overtime you can accrue more time off than your base 2 or 3 weeks (this is limited to staff level, not project managers). Very supportive of mentorship, professional development, and involvement in external organizations.
Cons
Annoyingly focused on one's billable metrics, sometimes on a weekly basis. Work/life balance can be a challenge at the pace that expect staff to work.
Langan Engineering and Environmental Services Response3moThank you for your feedback! We’re happy to hear you have benefited from Langan’s industry-leading overtime and compensatory time benefits. It sounds like you are also taking great advantage of our professional development offerings, both internally and externally. We recognize that optimizing billable time in the professional services industry can be challenging at times – however, we are pleased to provide a work environment that offers work schedule flexibility, hybrid work options, a robust wellbeing program, and other benefits to balance work/life.

Pros
The company provides a satisfactory work experience. The compensation is great for some, par for others. Bonuses are distributed two to three times a year although they are not near what they promote. The training offered is acceptable and the Mentor Program is commendable.
Cons
The compensation does not align with the level of work performed and years of experience. Despite claims of fair pay across the organization, I remain skeptical. Despite HR's claims that high bonuses (10-15% of salary) will offset the lower base salary, my experience reveals that actual bonuses typically amount to around 3%. This stark difference leads me to believe that the initial statement is false. Engineers tend to advance rapidly within the company, despite exhibiting poor work ethic and questionable principles. The organization promotes work-life balance, but it often results in some individuals taking advantage of personal time, leaving others to pick up the workload. Furthermore, there seems to be a clique mentality where only those in the "in group" are considered important. There appears to be a significant turnover rate within the company
