Tetra Tech Reviews

Pros

Very flexible business acumen for most part. I see critical reviews below, but my experience has been the company is very supportive of its employees, provides an entrepreneurial culture which starts in the corporate offices down to most local offices. Compensation is driven by performance, not favoritism like some companies. If you are entrepreneurial and good at execution you can be very successful at Tetra Tech. It also respects people who want the 9-5 job, but compensation will reflect that.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work. Don't change a thing.

Encourage long term data management and collaboration for more knowledge sharing across the company (we have some seriously skilled and talented people!)
More interns, please.

I interned at Tetra Tech during my junior year of college in the environmental engineering group. Everyone I interacted with was very helpful and friendly, and I learned a lot about GIS as well as the consulting climate.
