Michael Baker International Reviews

Pros

Salary, family-type atmosphere, free perks (coffee)

Cons

Constant organizational changes, too much focus on growth measures.

Pros

Flexible schedules and ability to work from home.

Cons

Raises are terrible, after talking to my manager, it appears 3% will be the highest one can get unless you are promoted. There is no cost of living adjustments nor is there any bonus unless you are upper management.

Pros

Some growth depending on field and location

Cons

Poor raises again depending on field and location and who you know

Pros

Had great team and was good place to work until the department head retired and some people left the firm.

Cons

Because it is an engineering firm, architecture is only a part of the group. However, it needs to have more technical support not IT but overall BIM support and training.

Pros

The office environment was friendly

Cons

A hard place to advance

Pros

Great onboarding process. Very big proposal department so workload is manageable. Okay pay, meets industry standard.

Cons

VERY high turnover! 9 people from my department were fired or quit in the 10 months I was there. They fired people abruptly, what seemed like on a whim, and without any kind of warning such as write ups or meetings with HR. I left because I was so anxious about the lack of job security, I was terrified I’d make one tiny mistake and they would fire me. It was incredibly stressful.

Pros

Flexible to work from home depending on your manager some allow and other don’t allow. Several projects Good Server System

Cons

Definitely has a lot of resources but not for everyone. 1- Lack of organized payment scale, depends on your negotiation and urgency of the project, some people had more experience getting less money than other people with less experience on the same rank. 2- Weak salary in comparison to other engineering firms 3- No cultural or family atmosphere, boring group of people 4- Not learning anything just there to do the work. Opportunity to grow in weak 5- No one listen to the employees and take their feedback, local managers deal like as if they are the owners, majority of the managers I dealt with were very rude and unprofessional 6- Mentorship is huge issue in Michael Baker most of the managers dump the work on you and they don’t have time to let you know what are they expecting. 7- Very high turnover, no stability, people go their as a hotel until finding another opportunity. 8- Weak bonuses for the employees, good for the managers If you find another company go for it since definitely this is not a place to learn and grow

Pros

Friendly people to work with, really give off close-family vibes, always willing to help out even if it's not their task

Cons

Compensation and benefits are below average for the civil consulting industry in the area

Pros

nice work life balance, stable, decent pay

Cons

re-org is a on going thing

Pros

They try to be competitive with salary, they try to stay current with employment trends.

Cons

The management often tends towards reactive rather than proactive.
