This company is horrible.

I worked for them 10 years ago and bailed out after only five months. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

This was a good company back when it was Woodward Clyde. I worked in the san jose, CA office for 3 years and worked my way up from receptionist to Office Administrator. I helped with the merger with URS, I flew to Florida and learned new software and came back to share it with the office. I had to resigned due to my husbands transfer to Nevada. The Nevada office didn't have any positions for me at that time. Five years later My husband and I decided to move back, only to a place just outside of Fresno, CA. I went online and posted my resume on URS website, hoping to get a chance to work with them, while I waited I found a job nearby that sounded pretty good, so I took it. After I started working there I received a phone call from the Recuiter and was pursued by URS for 3 months for me to work for the Fresno Office, after working there for 7 months, I was Terminated for no reason AT ALL. My Friends and Co-Workers where shocked and very upset. I spoke to the VP of operations and no one cared. I was left with NO ANSWER, NO INCOME, NO WRITE UP, NO INS. NO NOTHING. What a SLAP in the face!!! I was even Threated by another employee, and nothing happened. TALK ABOUT BS! I WAS LEFT CRUSHED BY A COMPANY I DEDICATED MY TIME TO AND GAVE UP ANOTHER JOB FOR IT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOOKING ELSE WHERE!

I worked in the Buffalo office for four years and try to work them again. I was told they won't hire you if you leave them.

this compaqny is the most deceptive company I have ever worked for in my 30 years in the engineering business.
This company is full of "power mongers"...

Do they ever called anybody back?
I've talked w/ other people and called them myself.
Nothing.
How do they stay in business?

I would never recommend URS to anyone. I was treated very disrespectfully when I worked there. I was never given any warning or a reason why I was terminated, and the department head was actually laughing at me as I was being fired. He was a bully and a screamer, and everyone at URS knew it, but since he was high up in management and had never been disciplined for his actions, his behavior continued to spin out of control. I never understood why URS allowed him to treat other employees so badly, and why they had not terminated him.

It is a "white men only" company, and they do not like or accept women and minorities in their ranks. They will hire them for diversity purposes, but will not hesitate to let them know they're not welcome.

URS is more like corporation x with the overhead people are that are decided to be most important people in the company such as accounting, HR, and management, not the engineers who make money for the company. People that are in high positions are likely not experienced, they deligate work to people not qualified but however get an apiffany and decide to have a competent engineer"to take a look". The most common excuse is underqualified engineer is their job to figure it out. however, the managers stupidity usually has this view on things .People are promoted due to the amount of time spent at the company instead of competinency in summary, its wasted talent on managment that sucks. period

This company, and their divisional companies, such as EG&G Tech Services is a horrible company to work for. And management is very vindictive, and do not it when their employees are praised for doing their job while they are away. That is what happened to me, I did their job, was praised by other employees, and other departments for getting the jobs down, that weren't even mine, but I felt they needed to get done. The wouldn't have gotten done either while those people were absent. They were upset when they came back to find out I was patted on the back for doing their job... I was out of work 3 weeks later because I quit and didnt want to work for a company that allowed such ignorance to happen. If you wanna play the politics game, and I dont mean the typical stuff, go to work here, otherwise, I would seriously look somewhere else.

wow so many bad comments about this company. i was going to apply, but definitely will not now. i am going to steer clear from a company that sounds so terrible by it's own people.

Anyone with the right mind would setup shop right across the street from their hq and take them on and win.

All of these stories sound so familiar. Wow. Not just me. You are supposed to be loyal to the company but URS is not loyal to it's employees. But that's ok though. They lie to you. The deputy PM even told one of the guys who applied for his job before he got there that you would need to "talk out of both sides of your mouth" or in other words "just lie to people". The Prog Manager for URS in Vegas (who never sees what work is really being done out at the site) just throws people under the bus without regard. Never stands up for any of his people. Doesn't care about anyone working for URS except himself. You are just a body to be chewed up and spit out. Nobody lasts more than about 3 years. Unless you are a great politician and backstabber. Wow. U.R.Screwed.

Hey Loyal. I worked for URS/EGG too and it was a good company before the new "J-Fyuk3" or JT3 contract too. It's all downhill everywhere you look. No use staying there since your tenure means nothing to them. Just sh*t on you. The admin weenies for JT3 are in town in their nice offices with their heads up their a**es. Screwing the workers out at the work location. They don't give a sh*t about you. A-Holes. No wonder they are always hiring. Nobody stays. Everyone just quits.
