Engineer (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 10 June 2018
Every day is an enjoyable day at work!
There is not much focus on employee development and growth;
Management has several VPs in Business Development who bring in no business!
Workplace culture is healthy and productive with good work-life balance;
Hardest part of the job is work planning - because of last minute surprises.
The most enjoyable part of the work is flexi-time and work sharing between colleagues.

Employment at SNC-Lavalin Nuclear Inc.
Project Coordinator (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 7 May 2018
I've learned a lot about different departments as I have worked in every department.
Management is not always proactive but are reactive to business issues. It seems as though it is ok to put money into fixing problems instead of preventing the problems.
The workforce is stretched and there is little to no communication from the upper management down to the working group.
The hardest part of the job is working with a management team who don't use the strengths of their team to their full potential. It frustrates the employees who want to do good work. There is no accountability for people who don't perform as expected. They are not reprimanded for errors, instead the work is forced onto the workers who perform well.
It has been rewarding to see the what can be accomplished when people work together.

Lack of Management Support
Strong culture
Engineer (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 30 April 2018
The branch I worked for performed poorly from the clients perspective. The Dept heads, in general, abused their positions. They were usually the last to arrive in the morning and first to leave at the end of the day. With this example a lot of the staff wasted hours everyday playing online games, waiting at Tims, and wandering the mall.
