- 5.0Dec 2, 2023Senior Electrical EngineerCurrent Employee
Pros
Organized and easy to communicate with peers and the leadership.
Cons
Inflation compensation is inexistent. Today's salary is not sufficient. No recognition for efforts performed on projects and mentoring young engineers.
- 2.0Nov 17, 2023Anonymous EmployeeFormer Employee, less than 1 yearDurham, NC
Pros
Decent pay, fairly diverse workload, hybrid position
Cons
Performance solely based on utilization (working on projects), even if you don't have enough to work on or there isn't enough budget for projects. Bullying wasn't taken very seriously. A senior scientist I had to work with regularly made unprofessional comments and put others down instead of teaching and encouraging. Felt pressured to not speak up. Very short notice to travel for fieldwork, sometimes for a week at a time. Often uncertain of schedule. Lack of appreciation and recognition for work.
- 4.0Dec 1, 2023Assistant Office EngineerCurrent EmployeeNew York, NY
Pros
Will always have a job in this field
Cons
A lot of work comes with the title
- 3.0Nov 22, 2023Electrical EngineerCurrent Employee, more than 3 yearsTroy, NY
Pros
The work is fine. Like any other design firm. Working at a large company has it drawbacks.
Cons
Top heavy management style. People don't really care about the "4 pillars" of WSP, I just gotta get work done.
- 1.0Nov 26, 2023Staff Environmental ScientistFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsSan Diego, CA
Pros
Coworkers are enjoyable but all commiserate together
Cons
Poor wages and benefits They like to tip toe along the edge of violating federal labor law and ensuring you get paid the least amount of money to boost profits
- 3.0Oct 2, 2023IT DirectorFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsEphrata, PA
Pros
WSP is a highly advanced engineering services company with lots of very smart and talented people. The global and regional leadership are confident and talented and they work hard to be honest, fair and open to employees
Cons
Keeping talent in the services area continues to be at the root of the issues faced by the organization. The people and the work of design engineers is outstanding, but the support structure from HR, Legal, IT and more is hampered by hard line budget constraints and questionable global IT leadership. There is a lot of effort around diversity and inclusion, however the executive groups are heavily slanted to non-ethnic groups.
