Golder Associates Employer Reviews

Golder did not provide any flexibility, even though they promoted work life balance they did not follow through. I was in a car accident on January 14th 2013 and they were not accommodating. My manager was not punctual and attentive.

It is in a mess. There is one big name and the rest is empty. This is not a place for professional growth. This company is for the principal, by the principal and the rest of the staff has no say, no value, no recognition.

its a big company so it all depends on your office. i can say in general there is very few company-wide programs for career developement. in redmond office there is very little interaction and support of peers-seniors. i always had the feeling that the seniors want to keep you down to do the man labor and the culture propagated down to the peers who – more... felt insecure about sharimg their knowledge. – less

I started out as a receptionist, then was promoted to Group Secretary. I was in my early twenties and my co-workers were very helpful and educational. The hardest part of the job was meeting last minute report changes to be Fed-Exed out as soon as possible. Went into alot of overtime. I enjoyed the job because I met so many great people with alot of – more... knowledge that helped mold me with so many things that could help me in my private and professional life. – less

Although I like my position, coworkers, and manager, I have repeatedly asked for more responsibilities. The hardest part of the job is not having enough to work to fill the day. I like the job because it is close to home and dress is casual.

Being an entry level employee, I learned a lot about the environmental field as well as life as a professional. Everyone in the office was willing to help me out when I needed advice in any situation. As a whole I really enjoyed my time there and still keep in touch when I can.
