Solid place to work that is always striving to do better for their clients and staff. - Recensione dipendente - Senior Staff presso ESS Group

Exciting cutting edge projects. Strong responsive Management Team. Great team environment. Fair compensation. It is a high end technical consulting company, not for commodity services.

Personal growth is constrained by size but is more focused on mentoring due to large project assignments. Could improve benefits package, more flexibility in PTO.

Great place for engineers/scientists to grow their resume in energy, coastal, or water resources. ESS is unique because it's a small, privately owned firm, that works on large, complex, high-profile projects (not a gorilla firm). Employees aren't silo-ed and have the access and opportunity to work with everyone in the company, including corporate-level executives who are industry-veterans and experts in their fields.

As a small firm working on big, complex projects it can be a challenging environment. There can be burn out, frustration, peaks/valleys in morale, and limitations. Turnover can be high, but that's the industry as a whole. Successful employees have can-do attitudes, roll up their sleeves, and can trouble shoot. As a privately-owned firm decisions aren't always made democratically - that can be good and bad. Bonuses and salary increases are earned, not offered as incentive.
