RLG International

Every team is well-balanced and motivated for delivering results. Every project is a success and provides dozens of success stories for the clients.
There are no 'typical days' on a project - the dynamics is great. Preparing the assessment, delivering a brainstorming event, presenting results and coaching-coaching-coaching - that's how it feels.
Every project manager in the company is unique, but at the same time they have one common feature - working solo or in team means doing every possible effort for success.
The hardest part of this job is clients' resistance to changes, especially the front-line personnel. And at the same time it's the most enjoyable part when the client has an opportunity to observe results and think of possibilities with no resistance to changes.

Great benefits/perks but you work long hours for it. Tend to be micromanaged by your supervisor and lack of clear direction and goals. 

Long hours and poor pay for what you do but if you need experience, this can be a great starting place but don't expect to be compensated competitively for the skills you acquire. They will tell you that you are replaceable and replace people that are inept and unskilled which created uneven work distribution.

Good place to get some practical coaching experience - if you are on a coaching assignment. May hear tons of praise - while the company needs you (that was when business was booming and oil money was abundant).

Since the oil price drop, the company has been shedding staff continuously, eagerly and easily getting rid of people who were "our key asset" just a year ago.

Aging top management (owners) delayed their retirement decision desperately trying to boost the price of their shares - which means that further layoffs are imminent.

Not a healthy environment.

The company will tell you that results for the client are paramount, but the truth is, continuing to bill is.  When faced with resistance at the client, rather than have the difficult discussion to try and overcome resistance, senior RLG leadership will not have the difficult discussions with the client for risk of damaging the relationship.  Instead, they'll leave the Project Manager fighting a winless battle, treading water, while they "spin" the progress on the project and continue to bill monthly.  

Lacks integrity.

I enjoyed working at RLG.  I learned and grew a lot because the work was challenging which brought out my creativity.  The people were great.  For a global company with employees working in different parts of the world, the company has done a wonderful job in keeping their employees connected.
