IBI Group reviews

*Low pay for System Admin job, more like 1st level support *You will be alone, only IT person in the office, can get boring real easy *IT is treated like 2nd class in an Engineer-filled office *Southfield Office went from 100+ to 50 in less than a year, be prepared for possible layoff *As I said above, the job is more like 1st level support. Day to day you will be resetting passwords and unlocking accounts mostly. *IT Management told me I was 1st level support after I tried to get a raise, yet the local manager said I was the IT Manager and I did IT Manager-related jobs, confusing. *No career plan for IT at all when I was there. Want a promotion? Move to Toronto *Remember, this is an engineering firm, IT is not their top priority and you will see this first hand.

I worked in a U.S. branch of this company. It was a bad experience overall. As others have mentioned, culture varies wildly by office, because of IBI's habit of acquisitions. I think my branch had a particularly toxic culture that carried over from prior to the acquisition. People were unfriendly, management was picky about exact hours worked (even though they sold flexibility during the interview - I felt lied to, honestly), and they lowballed me on salary. Which would have been workable if there were growth opportunities within the organization, but there were not. IBI is very focused on minimizing costs to the exclusion of everything else, which is pretty demoralizing.
