Lack of Leadership - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei DLR Group: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Fantastic growth opportunities and great teamwork.

A large firm, so you must make yourself seen.

-Good support for getting your license -Lots of office locations

-You aren’t valued as an employee, you are seen as a person in a seat and replaceable. This is made very clear during layoff seasons. -You don’t move up based on your project work or even your annual reviews. Promotions, raises and bonuses are heavily influenced by who you are friends with in leadership and how well you play corporate politics - Company has long term relationships with corrupt clients and refuses to damage or end this relationship despite internal employee outrage when this was shared. Multiple articles have been released about this incident and despite outrage they are continuing this work. I highly recommend googling this company before working for them as they lie about this during the interview process. -Have to pay to park at work -Process for receiving associate and principal titles is a popularity contest and not based on your actual contributions. -Regularly expected to work unpaid over time and project staffing is very inconsistent and unorganized. -Many people are underpaid and raises are percentage increases vs performance based. -Culture of Dallas office is extremely draining and hypocritical. Younger staff being held to higher standards than leadership. (Example - holding younger staff back salary wise due to not having a license while having multiple unlicensed people in positions of leadership) -Took away Hybrid work option and brought back mandatory 4 days in office -Sustainability is used as a marketing tool instead of actually being applied to projects. Lots of greenwashing happening on projects to meet AIA requirements.
