RPM Technologies (Canada) reviews

The company's management is too full of themselves to bring this company into the current century. They promise you the world when they interview you, and then when it comes time to start work, suddenly 'I' misheard what I was told. The software is based on VB and early .NET,,,technologies that went out the window years ago. Very low employee retention. You'll notice that employees last on average 2-3 months. I was there a few months and had three neighbours because they kept getting fired, leaving. The senior employees have all been there 10+ years leaving no opportunities for promotion, all the senior managers have been in their places since the 1990s. Their processes are old and based on 1980s principles. Create a Use Case? Company looks at you like you are from Mars. Create a Business Process Flowchart? Company thinks you've wasted precious time. Microsft Visio? Not here...try the next company. Company has no faith in employees. Even if you have 20 years of experience at another company, you'll still have to have your work approved by a senior analyst. Project timelines are very tight, sometimes less than 8 hours. As others have stated, the time tracking is to the 5 minute category, a minute over and you’ll hear about it. A practitioner of IIBA/PMI ideology?….again, not welcome here as they don’t align with company culture. Sad really because the people are class acts when not discussing work.

This is by far the worst place I've ever worked. The management and executive teams are truly incompetent. As an employee, your ideas will not be listened to, your needs will not be met (professional nor financial), and your stress levels will sky rocket. Here is a list of cons in no particular order of ranking: - the pay is far below industry standard for new staff in any position. You will be promised a big raise at your annual review and they will give you a low percentage increase and act as though they did you a favour. - they use very old (if any) technology to keep themselves organized. They will not accept suggestions on how to improve. - the executive team is incredibly rude and often very offensive in their language and how they speak about staff members. The most unprofessional executive team I've ever encountered. - there is no trust in very capable staff. Often having them work on menial tasks that are not their responsibility - the managers and executive team will not take responsibility for errors. This causes staff to come to work very stressed because they never know what they will get into trouble about at any time. - management does not and will not try to get to know you. - the sales team act very entitled and will treat you with very little respect The list can go on and on. Essentially, if you are considering accepting a position at RPM, please read through all of these reviews and rethink your decision. Stay unemployed and wait for a better offer before you waste year of your life and risk potential health problems caused by anxiety and stress.
