Pros

I had some of the most caring and passionate coworkers and gained valuable experience.

Cons

Pay is low, especially for young professionals starting out in the field. Corporate management is archaic and the benefits reflect that. Vacation/holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc)/sick time/personal days are all pooled together into 20 days of time off a year until you reach 5 years. This means employees come into the office when they are sick to avoid using vacation time, causing others to get sick as well. Maternity leave is not on par with competitors. In fact there is no maternity leave, you must instead use remaining vacation time and then opt for short-term disability. Why in 2017 are we calling pregnancy a disability??? Women often expressed relief that they had their children before coming to Tetra Tech. The board is all white old men with the exception of one woman (not a surprise when you see the lack of maternity leave). There is also little opportunity in the way of advancement and salary increases. Also, there is a hush-hush bonus program that when they give you your bonus, they tell you to not tell anyone about it.

Pay, remote work, flexible, variety of projects

Management is bit disorganized and always scrambling. Benefits are not the greatest. PTO is looped in with holidays. Not enough resources for every job so burnout is high
