      Pros

      Great people, interesting work and there is flexibility in work location.

      Cons

      Everyone is expected to work outside normal hours, evenings, weekends and even on vacation. This is the norm and not the exception.

      Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your longstanding tenure with IBI Group. We are always happy to hear that our people enjoy working with their colleagues as we really do aim to foster a friendly and collaborative work environment. Employing almost 3000 professionals globally who work on a vast variety of projects at differing levels of breadth, depth and complexity in a fast-paced and deadline-driven industry means that there is a lot of variation in the hours our employees might be required to work to meet our deadlines with the utmost quality. While working overtime occasionally is to be expected, we never intend to have individuals or teams working the hours you have experienced. We constantly encourage all of our employees to take full advantage of their personal time off and especially their vacation time! We would encourage you to work with your manager to establish a work schedule that works for you as everyone is different in regards to their preferred working hours especially while we’re all working remotely and dealing with the challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic. We value our people and we invite you to reach out to your local Human Resources Business Partner for any additional support you may require.

      Toxic Environment

      Pros

      The only positive I took from my experience here were the amazing team members I learned so much from. There is definitely a huge amount of talent on the team with some great personalities.

      Cons

      I've never worked in such a toxic office environment. Management is completely inept at creating a smooth and efficient workflow and was unwilling to hear suggestions on ways to improve this. I tried on multiple occasions to voice my concerns with how the department was managed and it fell on deaf ears. Other team members had agreed with the issues, but were either too afraid to come forward for fear of retaliation or already knew things would never change. Internal deadlines are completely ignored and not enforced which created chaos and disorganization between departments. You're constantly assured "this never happens", when in fact it occurred on every project and finger pointing and blame was used to explain mistakes or rushed work. Work/life balance was non-existent because the team took on any and everything in such a disorganized way. You would be placed on something with an impossibly short deadline, which resulted in unnecessary overtime on every project. Some would stay well into the night to complete a project that could have been finished earlier with better planning and department management. Career advancement and professional growth was not supported and often discouraged. When presenting these issues to HR they completely ignored the problem and Management continued to run the department into the ground. The turnover rate is shockingly high and it's not "just the industry, you either sink or swim". Good employees stay with good leadership and a well run department keeps talented people.

      Thank you for sharing your experiences and outlook on your time with IBI Group. We greatly value your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed working with an amazing team made up of talented individuals. We take pride in our people and strive to foster an environment that attracts high-performing professionals. We regret to hear that you faced some challenges while you were with us. While there will always be ebbs and flows in workload given the nature of the industry we’re in, we work hard to ensure work-life balance is supported and encouraged within each of our teams. We exemplified that by launching a formal Working from Home Corporate Policy at the beginning of 2020 (before the COVID-19 Pandemic), and we were able to take our entire global workforce of nearly 3000 professionals remote in the span of 10 days at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Nonetheless, we value your input and can guarantee you that we continue to work to ensure that experiences like yours remain a rarity at IBI Group as we continue to work together to define the cities tomorrow. All the best to you in your career and your future endeavours.
