CallisonRTKL reviews

We appreciate your time to share your thoughts about CRTKL. We are sorry that you have moved on and genuinely appreciate your insights. CRTKL's history was forged around urban planning, and we value this practice area very highly. Depending on the team you are assigned to, you may find that projects move quickly and are of high demand. Our PUD team works across regions and can get very busy, and their project impact and design is second to none. We wish you the very best in your professional endeavors and hope that your will choose CRTKL again in your future career path.

We appreciate your feedback and insights. At CRTKL, we routinely review our salaries and benefits and invest in competitive rewards that are meaningful and appropriate to the needs of our employees at every stage of their lives. Our benefits design is thoughtful and diverse, from holistic medicine to IVF to many competitive leave programs, such as sick leave, floating holidays, and a total of 10 weeks of fully-paid maternity leave (including 2 weeks of parental leave for new moms and dads). Commuting subsidies, such as DART, are flexible and based on location. Our employees connect to clients and work across a diverse lineup of projects. From your feedback, it’d appear that your team experience was not positive, which is not what we strive for as a company and expect across our leadership. The Dallas office welcomed Harold Thompson this year as its new Office Leader, and he has done an excellent job building upon cohesive expectations, and a good dialogue around responsibilities and initiatives. The feedback from our people has been very positive. Even with WFH due to COVID-19, the people connection has been remarkable, and the effort invested in staying connected has been a priority for the teams and our leadership. Speaking of COVID-19, as with the rest of the industry and the world, our firm is not exempt from some difficult decisions—all made after much thought and care for our people. The job posting you mention predates these actions, and it’s a strategic search in place for months now. We wish you success now and in the future.
