Great flexibility and ownership, but bonuses lack fairness

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

Cons

The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.

Good benefits but management decisions hinder competitiveness

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are pretty good and work life are great

Cons

Adding more overhead and expecting the operations members to pay for increased low value positions. Many departments have tripled in size the last 2 years without any visible increase in positive impact. Many new senior managers don't have industry experience and make decisions that don't keep Woolpert competitive. Support functions have gone downhill in the last several years with new people being added. A lot of good talk by some without follow through.
