Pros

Best body of Fire Protection Engineers on the planet (or used to be a few years ago)

Cons

We are bleeding talent. The staff is demoralized, confused, and completely off-balance at the worst time - when upper management and investors are beating the performance drum every day, all day.

Pros

The people are willing to collaborate and share knowledge and ideas Large "network" of staff to work with

Cons

Management not connecting with the general staff, operating in a vacuum from staff. Excessive Upper Management - more VPs and above than a corporation 5 times the size. Management requests for feedback are perfunctory, no real interest is opinions of line/staff. Little to zero feed back from management unless it is for a large "sale", then a quick congratulations and what are you working on next? Business model "seller-doer" is antiquated at best; more in line with a manufacturer model than for intellectual properties. Personnel turn-over/departures increasing in depth and breadth. Management directives are basically - "make the numbers (sales AND utilization) or your gone. Reduction of benefits is noticed and having a negative effect on moral, not only has Jensen Hughes reduced the match to 5% but management decided that no match was needed for 2017 since they decided to change the format. Only year in over 14 years to not issue the "optional 10%) sharing was 2017.

Pros

Most talented technical staff across the board. Some really great people to work with.

Cons

Huge disconnect between management and staff. Management only focuses on utilization while career progress of individuals is less important. A lot of cost cutting has started to happen to benefit the private equity owners, including closing down an entire office in Calgary and laying off some highly technical people. A lot of the seniors have left the company and are still leaving. The future outlook does not look positive.
