Terracon is a leading consulting firm specializing in geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials engineering.
- The SoCal region has a terrible company culture. Leadership takes no interest in knowing their employees (unless you’re the favored ones). After 9 months, not a single person in the company knew virtually anything about me. I was a cog in the machine and that was all. They claim to be the “best at people” which is just BS. - I was hired as a hybrid role and in my first 2 months, after making my first mistake, was told to come into the office 5 days a week making my weekly commute time 10 hours in traffic. - Depressing office spaces. Older buildings. - Worked from a WFH space near the beach and management accused me of lying and was just pretending to work while I was at the beach. - Regional manager is only concerned about the bottom line. In his words “everything comes down to money”. Only a few people gets promoted as a result as that costs the region money. - After moving jobs to a company that really prioritizes their people, Terracon needs upper management that know how to manage people well, not just management who are good engineers.
