Vantaggi

"There isn't any negativity, and everyone is always willing to share work" - False. This was the most negative, toxic, and bitter work environment I've ever been a part of. Line managers constantly throw people under the bus for their own mistakes. This is a "fend for yourself" workplace. "Support for success from the senior leadership team is definitely tops!" - haha, did HR write this review?? "An employee can actually carve their own path for success." - There were no career paths at Atkins. Management would continually take people who were very technically sound and try and "round out" their talent by taking them off the technical tasks and making them fill out BMS forms. They have a false idea of what real project management is. "Good performance is also recognized." - the appraisal process was the worst I've encountered in all my years in the industry. If you were a British male, you would be recognized. Good performance is recognized if you sleep your way to the top.

Svantaggi

"Atkins is definitely a top firm." - said no one in Houston

Vantaggi

Plenty of friendly coworkers; Can gain a decent amount of experience Decent benefits, especially medical, dental, and vision insurance.

Svantaggi

Working from home can be slow and finicky due to servers being scrambled across the country which is discouraging for hybrid and fully remote workers. Not a lot of communication between employees, especially since there is not a lot of work so you would have to keep pressing coworkers for more work and direction. Work/Life Balance is hard to maintain since PTO, Sick leave and vacation are merged and I have to come in early. If given work, you can probably have enough to do in order to fill in timesheets, but there are plenty of times when you might not have enough work and you would have to grasp at straws just to make it to 8 hours of work each day. My role feels more like I'm working as a GIS Technician instead of an Analyst given the lack of clarity in the job description. There is no true technical training program. You would just have to search online for anything you don't know how to do.
