As an intern at this company I did not get exposed to very much during my time there. Most of the time my boss was not even around to ask questions and it seemed like they did not have time to teach me to do anything.

Really hard to understand what you need to do

Civil Engineer (Former Employee) - Miami, FL - October 25, 2021

At this location, Managers do not have a clear direction what they want in the projects. You end up doing many iterations for the same work, costing you many more hours of your own time. Not enough with that, when you deliver they do not show any appreciation for the subordinate, and even criticize even more for taking "too much time". Really hard to predict how your week is going to turn, it can go light or overtime every day. Pay is reasonable, although the benefits are not the greatest. No allocated sick time, just regular 15 PTO, Really expense to insure your wife/family, have to pay $100/month for parking at work.

Pros

Working from home at the moment

Cons

Not mentoring, very disorganized way to delegate work.

OK work environment

Structural Engineer (Former Employee) - Yolo, CA - January 22, 2019

Flexible hours and intelligent peers but lacks formal training and development opportunities for jr. engineers. Also lacks overall company unity and transparency in project pursuits and future growth of the company.

TY Lin International

Project Manager (Current Employee) - San Diego, CA - October 29, 2018

Good breakfasts on Friday morning. Good crew of young engineers who get the opportunity to learn fast. Unfortunately sometimes without adequate input from senior staff.

Working there sucks.

Engineering Specialist (Former Employee) - Tempe, AZ 85281 - January 24, 2018

Worst place I ever worked. No employee consideration at all. Everything is about the money. They expect over 50 hours a week with no thought of you having a personal life. I was actually openly referred to as “ A Slave” publicly more then once.

A great team

SENIOR CADD TECHICIAN (Former Employee) - Fort Myers, FL - August 24, 2017

A typical day I would come in an hour early and turn on the computer systems the lights etc. At which point I would check the schedule in order to determine which jobs needed to be done and in what order. When people came in I would review what needed to be done that day, then we would get to it.

Pros

easy work environment

Cons

high turn over in engineers

Demanding but productive

Project/Document Control Analyst (Former Employee) - San Diego, CA - April 18, 2017

TYLI was a great company to work for when it initially started in San Diego as the staff was small and there was a huge opportunity for growth. Over the years, the office expanded significantly in the San Diego office and also in Orange County, Riverside and Los Angeles. The San Diego office served as the satellite office for these areas so it became even more demanding as the support staff (Accounting, Marketing, Admin) seem to always be understaffed. At this point it was hard to have a work life balance as with hard deadlines and not enough support. It was very top heavy with many managers and project managers but the support staff remained the same. On a more positive note, TYLI offers great benefits and there were many office events such as holiday parties, happy hours, picnics, etc.

The worst place.

Bridge Engineer (Former Employee) - Coral Gables, FL - March 21, 2017

Bad manners president. The company is falling because of bad agreements with Central and South America. No matter how you do your job, if not who you are family.

Incredible, talented engineers developing the most beautiful projects in the world!

Associate/Northwest District Marketing Manager (Former Employee) - Salem, OR - October 17, 2016

Unbelievable talent in creating some of the most beautiful bridges I've ever seen - the majority from highly complex project sites and politically charged situations. Everyone is meticulous about the product delivery. Their President is constantly thinking about better ways to serve their clients and projects; he writes his ideas into a journal he carries with him at all times...an amazing fellow. Employees are welcoming and very friendly!
