Dewberry reviews about "upper management"

Upper management was notorious for treating all employees in a petty & condescending manner. This was particularly true of the Branch Manager: he had a few chosen employees well outside his purview that he would repeatedly harass. HR was reported to several times due to his behavior, no action was taken. The company would perform "work anniversary recognition" office meetings 2-3 times a year. After the event had ended, upper management would frequently call in employees that were recognized to fire them to avoid any pay increases. During my stay here, I saw this happen a minimum of 8-10 times. Employees began leaving this branch for their direct competitor after the trend became apparent.

Upper management is unfair and only views you as an asset, there is a lack of structure and communication from others in terms of work expectations

Upper Management makes decisions on here-say and perception. Very little, if any direct communication.

Sometimes you will have to work late to meet deadlines but it is not often.

Disconnect between upper management and lower level staff No incentive to really push or challenge yourself, work gets boring after a while Rare that younger engineers get any client facing time, can get stuck working on the same project or client for years 401k match is a joke, no yearly bonuses, not many other financial incentives Lack of company culture, the attitude of staff really varies from office to office. Feels like fragmented offices instead of one consolidated firm.

Upper management is stuck in the 80s

Upper management is more focused on finances than retaining current employees.
