Run Far Away from 401 Hanlan
Document Control (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 22 January 2023
Unless you culturally align with the people you are working with run in the opposite direction. Otherwise you’ll work the hardest and get paid the least and when it’s time to allocate raises it goes to the managers friends and people of similar background and not the ones who actually worked to make the company money.

Closed and regressive
Technician (Former Employee) - Vancouver Island, BC - 17 October 2022
The clique mentality is deplorable. I’d recommend looking elsewhere for rewarding employment. Condescension, sarcasm and ridicule are the management tactics I met with. Looking down from their self aggrandized ivory towers, belittling and manipulation. Toxic narcissism is how best to describe the mgmt.
Pros
Regular pay
Cons
Give up your self esteem

Don’t go work there
Senior Business Analyst, Workflow Automation (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 6 October 2022
Management is detached, and old style autocraty Personal success is impeded by the offshore outsourcing of development and support work Highly siloed and departmental divisions, with a lack of vision (or the communication of it in any cases)
Pros
Downtown offices is nice, pay is good
Cons
Inefficient, highly political workplace.

Jobs at SNC-Lavalin
All around awful
Designer (Former Employee) - Ontario - 3 September 2022
The construction industry has been broken at a fundamental level for quite some time now, so no one should be looking to spend a single second being stuck in this career path. Sometimes you may have to take time off because there will be nothing to do, other times you'll be swamped for months on end. Extremely poor work/life balance with barely any rewarding pay. The work itself is also uninteresting with barely any intellectual challenging aspects. As for the company itself, SNC-Lavalin is one of the worst ones. It has rightfully earned its poor reputation and whole at a face level they seem to care about their employees somewhat, you can be assured they are as soulless and evil as every other large corporation out there. The head offices will meddle with the affairs with smaller offices (such as laying off people without understanding the intricacies of the office where these people worked in), will not handle "human resource" manners properly, and just is all around a cold, heartless place to work in. That's corporate "culture" for you I suppose. tl;dr - STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS

I have learned many valuable things from my seniors, supervisors, and colleagues so, I am always grateful to them for their continuous help and support.

Environnement de travail pénible.
Technicienne Comptable (Former Employee) - 455 Boul René-Lévesque - 14 May 2022
Entreprise à éviter. Tous mes collègues sans exception se plaignaient de la façon dont l’entreprise fonctionne. Aucun respect pour leurs employés.
