Pros

I was part of the building science team. Energetic and driven young group; many smart engineers; CEO was from the former MMM and seemed approachable and wise.

Cons

Still a strong culture of legacy company at the Yonge/Eglinton office; company is constantly acquiring so constant change but very poor communication from leadership about decisions - they communicate matters after they happen so you don't feel part of the company; boys club and have hard time listening to women; no diversity in the office makes for an ignorant group who does not welcome those who don't fit a mold; aggressive and arrogant engineering mentality; i'm pretty sure i wasn't paid accurately; benefits were standard nothing special. too many men at the top.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
