Pros

Managers are good people outside of the workplace. Company is gaining larger contracts. Net profits up year after year. Everyone is usually helpful. Work from home available (NEW - will be gone soon) IT is very helpful and quick to respond.

Cons

Highly understaffed. Won't increase financial compensation for current employees during time when it's really hard to hire. Lower base pay than smaller companies. High turnover for lower level positions. No bonus for performance or holiday, no bonuses. Overtime is expected. Only half of medical insurance is paid for if single, less if you add dependents. Cutting cost everywhere. Non managerial employees are treated liked children by some. Very bad communication between teams and offices often causing projects to go past the due date. ESOP is not an incentive to stay, most companies pay into ESOP. ESOP pays from top down and there is no guarantee this company will last long enough to pay you in 10 years. No 401k match = no incentive to save pre-tax The benefits aside from the ESOP are almost equivalent to any operating business, think "Walmart" "Domino's" "Engineering Inc."

Psomas hires top notch engineers, surveyors, landscape architects, CM professionals, and more. Impactful projects for our surrounding communities that we are all proud to be a part of.

Some growing pains, it would be great to have fewer systems and more efficiencies in internal systems.

Thank you for your feedback and for your six years with Psomas. We hear the concern about culture and don't take it lightly. As an employee-owned firm, building a workplace that works for everyone is something we're committed to and still working on. If you're open to sharing more, our HR team would welcome the conversation — confidentially if you prefer.
