Burns & McDonnell reviews

Burns is stuck with an old school mentality that hurts our ability to keep good people and win certain projects. The company did not take Covid-19 seriously whatsoever, having sick people still come into the office and chastising people who worked from home. The new WFH program of 30 days is an absolute joke and less flexible than ANY of our competitors, which I suspect will lead to turnover. Things will likely not improve until we have a new CEO, who is driving a lot of the good ol' boy culture and old school mentality.

Lacks overall diversity. No women in high executive positions (ie officers). No people of color in the higher executives in KC. So many project managers again, very few women, even less people of color. The company is at odds with what is has been and where it’s going. It’s time to diversify in a meaningful way. Creating D&I positions is not sufficient. It means actively hiring into management positions across all GP’s. Eliminate the excuse that there are no candidates applying. Invest in your current female and minority employees and train & promote internally. There are ZERO women in offices. It’s unacceptable. The micro and outward aggressions that I experienced was horrendous. I spoke up and was passively retaliated against. I was not staffed on any challenging projects after I spoke up.
