    Built a long and successful career at Tetra Tech

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I have been with the company for 17 years now. I worked as an engineer at a smaller consulting company that was acquired by Tetra Tech. It is clear that most of the growth in the company has been through acquisitions, and they have a good process for making everyone feel a part of the larger company. They have competitive salaries and benefits, and take very good care of their employees.

    Cons

    At times the company can feel segregated - more like a network of smaller companies working together. However, that can also be a good thing since often small organizations can run more efficiently than larger ones.

    Worst 'Professional' Time in my Career

    Apr 12, 2023 - Anonymous Employee

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Two people that I met that I was not even working with.

    Cons

    I was lied to many times by upper management, from my interview to the day I left. Management is so top heavy, you may be asked to do the work of 5+ people and have more than 5 managers checking in with you to see your progress. They will send people in from out of state to check if you need help, but you won't receive help. You will not receive time off. You will barely receive bereavement time. You will use your very limited paid time off for every holiday you ever hope to enjoy unless you live in a country where your government mandates it. I received little to no support at this company and I am ashamed to have associated with them. They may do impressive work in some fields but I am ashamed to have worked for a company that cared so little.

    Huge variety of work. Fast pace environment.

    Mar 29, 2023 - Environmental Engineer in Houston, TX
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    There are opportunities to become exposed to a huge variety of projects and clients, and you will face unique challenges along the way. The job can be demanding and stressful but at the end of the day it feels rewarding. The management at a local level is phenomenal and the office atmosphere is superb. It really is a great bunch of peers to have.

    Cons

    Vacation/sick days/holiday policy leaves something to be desired. Sometimes the work load is too high and stress levels can become overbearing. Burnout is a real danger until coping and stress management strategies are learned. Time reporting and utilization benchmarks are a near constant stress. Pay seems low and raises/promotions can take a long time to acquire.

    Pros

    Easy Job Easy-going company culture Rewarding work

    Cons

    They need a way to track employee scheduling across multiple departments. My active supervisor changed regularly throughout my employment I had to actively fight them for the 1 day off that I requested, which is the last thing an employee who's pushing 70 hours a week wants to be doing.

    Good Company, nice people, mediocre benefits and pay

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    My co-workers were all very friendly and management was largely responsive and supportive of employee needs. My workload was primarily statistical analyses of energy efficiency projects, which fit my career interests at the time. They take statistical analysis very seriously and strive to be objective even as a for-profit company. There was also a discounted stock-buying benefit that was pretty generous if you could afford to buy into it.

    Cons

    There wasn't much effort made to unify standards between projects over time, so projects were often a mix of code languages or varied widely depending on the previous project lead or how long a project had been running. The PTO and retirement benefits are both pretty bad, and the salary wasn't high enough to make up for that. Career progression options were also somewhat narrow and geared toward sales/business acquisition.
