Rimkus Consulting Group Canada

Having worked primarily for huge conglomerate companies in the past, in both the United States and Canada, I can honestly say that working for a privately owned business is a much better experience.

At IRC, employees are treated like family. Managers and even the owner have an open-door policy, allowing anyone to seek help or just talk about what's on their mind. Just like at home, there's always free tea and coffee in the kitchen, and lately, fresh fruit all day and every day. People are warm and nice to each other, and management tries to encourage socializing by hosting events, luncheons, field trips, and even after-work programs like fitness memberships and classes. 

As the company has grown however, it seems like it's harder to maintain that personal touch that IRC has been known for. There have also been a few managers that have come - and thankfully now gone - in the last few years who didn't fit in with the company philosophy, but that seems to have worked itself out.

In my opinion, there is actually a huge amount loyalty at IRC, and this can best be proven by the large number of employees that have been at IRC for over 25 years. We are so lucky to have some of the most seasoned and experienced engineers and experts in our field, and there is obviously a reason that they've all chosen to enjoy the rest of their careers here. The loyalty goes both ways!

Nobody is perfect, and IRC has room for improvement. The company is growing, and as it gets bigger, sometimes the little personal touches get overlooked in favour of policies and rules. There also isn't much flexibility on hours or working from home, but that doesn't really affect me. Overall, I hope that IRC keeps an eye on the people because we have some of the best, and for the most part, we are treated like family here!

I had a great time with the people. Needless to say when I was hired I was told not to worry about loosing my job due to not enough work and that we would "ride the storm" sadly I ended up loosing my job to that very reason. Still love the people and I don't resent the place but in retrospect I feel some loyalty or maybe a heads up would have been nice. If they were loosing contracts or not getting enough I feel they should have just cut down on the grandeur of it all. Maybe have quarterly meetings to let us know of our success/failures. Maybe not hire more people. its a kind of fake it until they make it kind of attitude.

I learned alot about the construction industry working at IRC, my boss was very helpful in regards to dealing with projects and clients. From golf tournaments in the summer to Christmas party in the winter along with greats benefits such as gym membership what's not to love. The hardest part of my job was meeting deadlines but that's typical in this industry. The most enjoyable part of my job is hanging out with my coworkers outside work. It gave me the opportunity to know them outside of work

Where you start is where you'll stay. After you master your job there is only downhill to go as the routine and boredom increase. most people leave after a few years as opportunities for advancement are ZERO. They usually start you off at a good rate of pay but there is never any bonuses or pay increases. It sucks to see your purchasing power decrease year after year.

Very laid back atmosphere and no micromanagent made it very bearable.

No loyalty to employees. Office is fancy, they spend lots of money on events and give the appearance of success, but as soon as there is any sign of profit decrease they start firing people left right centre. Even people who are there for long time get let go with no warning. Just care about the bottom line and business is poorly managed. A lot of employee turnover. Always looking over your shoulder to see if you are the next one that fired
