Do Not Work Here - Project Engineer Truebeck Construction Employee Review

Pros

50% of the people are smart and capable

Cons

1. Managers are way too inexperienced to lead. 2. Work hours are expected to be between 10-14 long days. 3. No credit or recognition is ever given to people who deserve it. Managers take credit for their direct reports work. 4. Their evaluation system is terrible. You'll never get anything high than "meets expectations" unless you're a star performer that sacrifices themselves for the project. 5. They do not care about you as a person. They pretend they are a family oriented company, but it is a lie to guilt you into working more. Their core values even say so "Project first-no excuses". 6. Executive Team is a good old boys club. 7. Project executives are incompetent and don't care about their projects. 8. Work environment is a toxic cesspool where employees are treated like trash and still expected to perform. In short do not work here unless you are in dire need of a job. You'll never be supported as an employee at Truebeck. They value tenure over talent and only reward people who have worked with them for 5-10 years.

Truebeck Construction Response
5y
I am sorry that your experience at Truebeck wasn’t amazing. We pride ourselves in providing a great place to work, not just compared to other construction firms, but compared to all businesses in the Bay Area. And we have been named by the Business Journal as one of best places to work many times over the past seven years. Regarding your comment about work hours, we know that Truebeck is not for everyone. We have taken on some of the most complex architectural, engineering, and construction feats in our industry. And we love that! We want team members who love that too. We value people who are driven, passionate about what they do, and get things done. While our industry and complex nature of our projects sometimes dictate longer hours, that should not be the norm. We want everyone to have a healthy work/life harmony and are constantly evaluating ways to help with that. Your comment about our Executive Team is just not true. Our team includes C-level, director level, and executive level women leaders overseeing Operations, Preconstruction, Safety, Human Resources, Finance, and Marketing areas of our business. Our Project Executives have managed some of the largest and most complex construction projects in all of the Bay Area. Their commitment and dedication to their clients, projects, and teams, are reasons for our extraordinary success. - David Becker, Co-Founder
