Thank you for your feedback. GEI has a robust travel and expense guideline document that provides details about our expense and reimbursement practices. We reimburse employees weekly upon receipt of the appropriate and accurate expense form and supporting documentation. For any employees where this presents an issue, we would encourage them to speak to their direct supervisor about their concerns and to discuss options. As to being billable, as a consulting firm dedicated to our clients, we have a focus on ensuring that the work our clients have entrusted to us is completed timely and with excellence. We also have a focus on maintaining a culture where our employees thrive, are engaged and feel rewarded for their efforts. If any employee has suggestions or feedback, we encourage them to use any number of channels available including speaking with their direct supervisor, a member of senior or executive leadership, the People & Safety team or through more formal means such as the GEI Pulse employee engagement survey or any other number of surveys conducted throughout the year.

Pros

Great benefits. Ability to learn.

Cons

Too much focus on billable work. Stuck in the old ways of doing work since most employees are on the older side. Approval up the corporate ladder is difficult.

Thank you for the feedback. GEI has begun implementing a new "check-in" process this year that was developed with support of a committee made up of a broad cross section of GEI staff. We recognize that more and better quality reviews are important to our continued success and employee engagement. Please participate fully in the fall check-in that is just getting underway, I'm hopeful that you will find it more satisfying. If not, please let People & Safety know your concerns so we can make improvements for the future. Regards
