RJC Engineers

I learned a lot working for RJC Calgary.  The people were great to work with.  The Calgary engineering culture has a poor work/life balance.  RJC worked hard to help their employees achieve a better work/life balance than most other engineering firms in the city did.  I was paid fairly for my work.  The bonuses were good and the management was generally there for you.  They sent me for training several times to help me grow in my career.  The work was challenging and I enjoyed the projects I worked on.

The hardest thing about working for RJC was their inability to stand up to their clients (architects) when they made unreasonable requests, unreasonable deadlines, or tossed the employees of RJC under the bus for mistakes the clients had made.  Several times I and others had to sit in a meeting with other engineering firms, contractors, and the architects client, and take the blame for mistakes the architect had made.  I have no problem owning my own mistakes but I do not like being blamed or being made to look like a fool to protect others mistakes.  I brought this issue to the attention of my manager and I was told I had to take it for the firm.  I was told I would always have to take the blame to protect our client.  I know of a few people who could not take the blame any more and stood up for themselves, they were dismissed.

Until the business culture of Calgary values its employees' (reputation and wellbeing) more than; deadlines and protecting the reputation of their clients company name and needs this type of thing will continue to happen.

When a bully is never stood up too, they are taught they can continue acting anyway they please, that they never have to take accountability for their actions and they will get away with it.

Interesting projects with much opportunity to self-learn, create, and challenge yourself. A community of talented but difficult employees in a clique-y and slightly unprofessional environment. Plenty of fun social events, but overwhelmingly high school-ish in atmosphere. Minimal support aside from occasional, unofficial mentoring and mediocre peer support. No evidence of an Intern program similar to larger European engineering firms - good luck at trying to incorporate the existing 'office standard' templates and models, as there is little agreement throughout. Good for those who are over-educated, under 32, and over-experienced for a given intermediate and junior technical position. Downtown Toronto location near a subway stop is convenient and exciting. Seems to be always growing, but that could be high turnover.

RJC isn't necessarily terrible as there are some really awesome employees who work there (but that's just about a handful)  Management LOVE to gossip and  talk about other people's personal lives to other people. The salary is laughable if you live in an expensive city. The principals make so much money and a lot of them do absolutely nothing. I feel like they can afford to give back to their ACTUAL hard working employees. There is a high turnover which is expected as a lot of the "team leaders" are difficult to work with. Generally when people quit its due to bad team leading and not the employee itself.

The work at this firm was very rewarding, challenging and fast-paced environment that was rewarding on a personal level as well as a professional level. Tech managers were some of the best I've worked with, they encourage a collaborative work environment and reward hard work. Each project gave you the opportunity to learn new concepts and challenged your Revit knowledge. However, it is very hard to grow within the company if your not an engineer. There was a clear hierarchy between engineer managers and techs, they refuse to let you take on more responsibilities simply because your not an engineer. 

One of the most unprofessional experiences I’ve had. Management is disorganized, communication is poor, and employees are not treated with respect. Safety is not taken seriously on job sites, and workers are often pressured to cut corners to save time. Overall, this is a deeply toxic work environment where ethics, fairness, and professional development are absent. For anyone seeking a place to grow, contribute meaningfully, or be treated with basic respect—look elsewhere.


I have nothing but good to say about RJC, my time there was great, the people and management were also great. The only issue I had was due to my lack of a bachelor of science degree which meant I would have been unable to receive promotions (unless I returned to university and completed my degree). Management was always there if needed and provided lots of mentorship. If you are looking for a company and you have a bachelor of science or masters, I would strongly recommend RJC.

The work at this firm was very rewarding, challenging and fast paced environment that was rewarding on a personal level as well as a professional level. Company, Culture and Management are hypocritical, cold, juvenile and very high school like. Gossip ruins this company and it's employees. Advancement and training is almost impossible unless you fit into their mold. If you are looking to work for a company with good wages but where they expect you lose your integrity and work with a bunch of sexist hypocrites look no further.

Moody Principal cares about loyalty not work quality. You should say yes even for Un logic ones. Project Engineer is trying to show off in front of the principal to convince him that he is doing his best. For example, he did not ask to update design work based on changes in architecture plans. But he just said we have new changes in such project. Then, he told the principal that I didn’t do the updates in the design as per the new changes. Very toxic work environment even you will be silenced. I am not recommending such place for work. 

Everything is mess,people are nice,but management are mess!HR doing nothing except fire people.avoid this company if you want to learn culture and management experience,go to bigger company will Be better for you!
