Thank you for commenting on many of the components that make up our company’s culture. As we work together in support of our clients, we focus on building and maintaining a work environment where our hard working and dedicated employees thrive by working on challenging projects and therefore gain growth opportunities and have some fun along the way. We do pay attention to our performance through various metrics. With that said, we strive to strike a balance between metrics and other non-measurable attributes that help us maintain our many employee benefits, reasonable return to our shareholders (employees) and bring exceptional value to our client’s projects. Thank you for your remarks and for your efforts to support our clients and company’s success.

Pros

Employee-owned company with excellent benefits and profit sharing. Excellent people to work with.

Cons

Upper management is a little out of touch with lower level employees and sometimes contribute little to the work. Training opportunities are very limited... You basically stay with the knowledge and education you came in with.

Thank you for highlighting our excellent people and employee ownership program, along with our benefits and profit sharing programs. Our culture, created by our people, is one of the things we’re most proud of at GEI. We also regularly review our benefits and profit sharing programs to ensure they are market competitive and comprehensive. We’re sorry to hear that you feel upper management is out of touch with employees and that training opportunities are limited. We strive to have a senior leadership team that is relatable and connected to employees. In fact, we are in the process of creating a senior leader visit program to help leaders and employees connect even further when a senior leader visits from another office. Stay tuned for that program, which should be launched by the end of this year. We also have an open door policy encouraging any employee to reach out to any senior leader. If you have any specific feedback on any individual or groups of individuals, you are encouraged to speak with your Branch or Regional Operations Manager. For professional training, we have several programs available. We have our eLearning, through Red Vector, where there are hundreds of courses available to support the development of technical and interpersonal skills. We also have a comprehensive safety eLearning program developed specifically for GEI. We have recently begun highlighting select eLearning courses to employees to help employees familiarize themselves with what’s available in Red Vector’s vast catalog. In 2018, we have also launched CAD, project management and account management training for individuals who have clients and/or responsibilities where this training is applicable. Our annual budget supports internal and external courses for career development. Additionally, we encourage employees to obtain professional certifications, attend professional conferences, participate in professional organizations, write and publish papers and pursue higher education. We have offer financial support for all of these items. Please speak with your direct supervisor to further explore learning opportunities at GEI and develop a customized career development plan using our career development and performance management program. Thank you for your feedback and we’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying working at GEI!

Pros

We are a tight-knit group that encourages collaboration between our offices. We always are looking toward the next 5 or so years, keeping our eye on organic growth. Downsizing is not in our vocabulary. The staff is treated quite well with good salaries, good benefits, and stimulating opportunities.

Cons

We could use more bench strength to support some of our projects and service lines.
