Terrible

Research Scientist (Former Employee) - Richmond, BC - 12 October 2020

You can work there only if you can't survive. Terrible experience. Worst management ever. They dont respect people, especially phd. They dont give you time to adapt to new environment. Most phd left within 1 year.

Pros

Free lunch

Cons

A lot

Alright job if you're in co-op

Worse company ever

Research Assistant (Former Employee) - Richmond, BC - 30 March 2021

Do not apply to any job postings for this company. The CEO is ignorant and arrogant. He blames everyone for lack of communication when his English is difficult to understand and fires you the next day. You'll be wasting your time here even if the pay is good. The atmosphere and environment is so intense when the ignorant CEO is around. Everyone is afraid of that disrespectful CEO. DO NOT APPLY, I REPEAT DO NOT APPLY even if the salary is tempting. It's not worth the mental health that he abuses.

Pros

The coworkers

Cons

Everything else sucks. No fun. No events. Always work like slaves

Terrible company

Technician (Former Employee) - Richmond, BC - 20 July 2020

The work you do at abm is okay. It gives you essential lab skills and the experience you need to progress further into your career. The CEO has unrealistic expectations and is extremely rude and condescending. Talks down upon you as if you incompetent at everything. Further insults you that a high schooler can do this and that you can't. Talks badly about previous employees and say why they were weighing down the company. Says his time is wasted and that training was useless. Is unprofessional in the way he talks by treating you like you are garbage. Don't bother working here. Working at a minimum wage job is better than the bs you take here.
