SWCA Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Department Employee Reviews

I have grown professionally during my time at this job. The company could do more to balance the bottom line with commitments to environmental and social sustainability in its practices.

It feels like I'm part of a group of people that are all working very hard to do the best job possible for each other - there is a commitment to our values, mission, and culture that I feel in interactions with my colleagues every day.

SWCA has been a great company to work for, some interesting projects and great coworkers

I enjoy working at SWCA, everyone here is smart/talented, we deliver good products, and work/life balance is respected

I have loved working here until this year. It's been a really difficult year and despite reaching out for help it's basically falling on me to fill any gap in our work and it's taking a toll on me. My hope is it gets better but it's really altered my views of the company.

they don't seem to be doing an infighting amongst themselves - they present a united team, which helps with confidence in the company

They care about my work life balance.

They seem to care about the company

Leadership seems to be doing fine

Transparency and frequet updates on company goals/policies. They seek to understand regular staff roles and challenges.

Employee ownership should mean that rank and file employees have more of a say in the direction of the company. The leadership team needs to align the clients it pursues with its claims regarding sound science and environmental sustainability.

Leadership is out of touch with what's wrong around here. I'm tired of seeing all these initiatives that go nowhere. It's annoying having to track my work in 3-4 trackers because new leadership has new ideas to help us track work. Our tech to do our jobs is cheap because of cost causing more issues.

It offers a wide range of perks.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan is nice

The actual hourly rate I make.

leave benefits are pretty darn good for a U.S. company

Being part of an ESOP is the best part of my compensation package. Having a built-in extra retirement plan makes me feel more secure in my future.

compensation is barely at target for my industry and level, i also think doing bare minimum benefits does not count as valuing employees

More compensation. Less need for extra hours to meet crazy deadlines.

unsure how i compare to others at my level

Our team is professional and approaches challenges with a positive attitude.

Consistently busy. No shortage of work.

My coworkers and team. And some of our projects

I enjoy trying to help our teams do our best work

Right now, nothing makes me happy, and I look at each day as a new opportunity for my coworkers to make life here stressful, full of anxiety, and a place I don't want to be at.

stress! too much stress! We have demanding roles and i don't feel we get enough decompression time or support in managing our stress. I would like to see a companywide stress management plan and program.
