Pros

There are some highly talented people here. Great high profile projects. Decent pay and benefits. Nice offices. Ambassador Ghafari is a true gentleman; however has stepped back from day to day operations.

Cons

Decisions of consequence are made by the Ghafari family...period. Don't cross the CEO or disagree with her, or you will be gone. Process group is on life support. Sometimes the voice of the customer is not listened too. Constantly getting "Best and Brightest" award by stuffing the ballot box.

Ghafari Associates Response
4y
While we appreciate all feedback, this review contains several inaccuracies that we’d like to address. Our Operations + Systems Engineering team (formerly called the Process Group) is thriving, working with clients across a variety of industries to elevate their productivity and efficiency. Our commitment to being a collaborative and trustworthy partner to our clients is among our core organizational values. We pride ourselves on being there for our clients. Responsiveness is a hallmark of our client partnerships, as evidenced by our near-40-year track record. Finally, we are proud of our consistent recognition as one of the “Best and Brightest Companies to Work For”, an award honoring companies that are innovative in motivating their team members, excel at employee relations, and represent best practices in human resources. This annual awards program is administered and managed by an independent research firm – it isn’t possible to “stuff the ballot box”.

Pros

• Great opportunity to learn and grow professionally. • Worked on a wide variety of interesting projects. • Many knowledgeable and supportive coworkers. • Strong place to build technical and project management experience. • I was able to advance my career and take on increasing responsibilities over my 11 years.

Cons

• Communication between departments often felt siloed. • Leadership could be more transparent about company decisions and policy changes. • More mentorship and support for project managers would be beneficial. • In my experience, opportunities for advancement did not always feel based solely on performance, and personal relationships sometimes appeared to carry significant influence. • Remote employees would benefit from more consistent treatment and clearer expectations. • Management styles varied significantly between departments, which led to inconsistent employee experiences. • Administrative tasks often took priority over developing project management and leadership skills.
