Hatch reviews

Montreal Tunnel group has zero in-house geotechnical engineering design capacity (Mississauga office does all design work), no clear business plan, an ever-evolving structure where roles are disturbingly vague, project management and controls are damningly lacking, inappropriate for younger engineers looking for design/build experience on major projects (technical expertise is shunned, as is innovation). General: Long hours, most are unpaid. Paternalistic male-dominated management structure, with inflexible mandatory work times (8-5, no exceptions) with public dressing down if one deviates. Workplace misogyny is pervasive, especially among senior male engineers.

Total lack of communication between shareholders and non-shareholders. What was being told by CEO and Senior Management to staff was not always accurate. Re-branding of Hatch was felt to be a waste of money by most support & mid-level staff.
