Pros

Nice people to work with below management level.

Cons

The company feels a bit like the Titanic on the way to the iceberg - ready to crash and sink at any time. Management seems to be aware of the looming disaster in the distance and try to fit as many staff on one lifeboat (account) without any support. After maybe six months, the staff on those accounts might hear from management but not in aid of career development. The management will want to add more people to the account without consideration to the workload and focusing more on the profits. Then we are told to create data to show how busy we are to add more resources $$$. Plot twist, management isn't on the Titanic at all - they're all living it up in Baja. Very stunted career development unless in management level. A lot of pressure to add more people to accounts and make profits over providing quality service. A lot of international import staff paid around 30-40% less than the local market rate salary. The moment I knew the company wasn't for me was during a company-wide video call regarding the terrible impacts of covid. One of the key topics was how staff wouldn't be having a salary review or bonuses for the year. It was extremely insensitive that Finlay Cumming had thousands of dollars in cash framed behind him on his wall during the announcement.

Mediocre estimating firm

Business Outlook

Pros

None experienced in the short time.

Cons

More focused on profit, than its people. No career development programs or training. Titles used to retain staff. Average pay and bonus scheme. Toxic environment and vailed threats constantly. A mainly estimating focused core service stream and lack of focus on quality or innovation to actually help clients.
