      I have been working at Michael Baker International (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great technical staff, great work/life balance and very client focused. Top Managment and technical staff support projects well. Generally well organized with great support staff.

      Cons

      You can only carry 80 hrs of PTO over every year. Marketing budgets are slim because technical training is valued.

      Advice to Management

      Brag about the corporate competence more.

      Pros

      Great people out in the field... The firm has so much potential.

      Cons

      Churning through good leaders, some of whom had been with the firm for many years. Little regard for the value of older employees.

      Advice to Management

      Care about the people as much as the profits. Create stability and not fear.

      Pros

      Regional and corporate management that seems to be getting it right.

      A more laid back office culture.

      Office management (at least my office)

      Opportunity for growth

      Cons

      Although there has been a noticeable effort to make wages more competitive, it still seems like this is average at best.

      No bonus structure for high performers until you are department manager or higher.

      Advice to Management

      Keep progressing towards operating as transparently as possible.

      Give your high performers a reason to keep putting in maximum effort by rolling out competitive bonus structure.

      Pros

      The people at Michael Baker are outstanding, respectful and talented.

      Cons

      Executive office staff live in fear and only act on the wishes of DC Capital leadership. The objective is to drive profit at all cost and ultimately sales price

      Advice to Management

      Make and defend actions that are in the best interest of the employees, clients and ultimately the company regardless of whether DC Capital agrees
