Pros

- Fairly good compensation package (3 weeks vacation) Medical, dental, vision. - LVS knows how to have fun after work. Fun Christmas parties every year.

Cons

- Pay is very low considering the bill rates. - Career, Life, Planning sessions don't really seem to mean much. - Management (CSMs) in the downtown office don't communicate much with team leads at client sites.

Thank you for taking the time out to tell us about your experience at Long View and the aspects that you liked and disliked. Understandably, the consulting world comes with challenges which sometimes include being offsite and away from the main office and are sorry that you felt disconnected. We are happy that one of our Core Values, Fun, was abundant in your time at Long View Systems. Thank you for the 3+ years you spent with us; best of luck in your new role!

Pros

- no micro management - decent pay compare to industry - great benefit - lots of family program - best in industry Christmas celebration

Cons

- useless middle management ,as they are selected not based on quality but boys club, who knows who - never develop the practice, just as a agency that placed cheaper resources to oil company for better billable margin - every month , they wash your brain thru MGM meeting so that you believe company cares about you (which is actually not true, they care only on profit ) - people that got promoted based on who you know in the top, not based on quality - VERY bad example of diversity , most leadership is dominated by certain race - Not a very accommodating place for minority , like : Asian (Race discrimination is obvious)

Thanks for your time in writing this review; your feedback is important to us. While Glassdoor is a platform to express your anonymous views and thoughts, it would be great to hear from you directly so that we can learn about your ideas on improving the items you mentioned in the Calgary office. We appreciate that you have dedicated the last 5 years to us and would ask that you speak to your People Services Advisor or our Director of People Services, located in Calgary, so that we can work together to continuously improve our company.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Long View Systems. While we can appreciate your view on the salaries we offer, we also focus on many other areas that add to culture and our staff’s happiness. Also, we have recently made changes to our orientation program for new employees and will continue to review this on an ongoing basis to make sure it is adding the most value. We are glad that the training and staff events we offer and the other pros you mentioned make your experience with us a positive one!
