Long way to the top

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They have big projects and are worldwide.

Cons

It is unlikely you will ever meet upper management and they control your destiny. IBI Group does not give bonuses in good years....it all goes to stockholders which include upper management. It is hard to move up. They have many offices but the offices don't really work together in fact they compete with each other because of their business model.

I tried so hard, but failed to work with IBI.

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, many interesting, kind, and qualified people, pay OK.

Cons

Not to be a disgruntled ex employee, but to be fair, the IBI stock has collapsed 91% last year to under a dollar. Stantec, a competitor, increased the same amount. For whatever reason, this is a catastrophic event in our industry. All the decades of potential of the people and capital invested in this "esteemed international city design firm" has been scuttled by financial mismanagement at the top. We all watched the monthly webcast of the CEO self-praising management's great success for years before the fall. We were all hoping and working very hard for a strong canadian international design firm to compete against the failed american invasion of HOK. We got a lesson in how to not expand any company. Large debt? High director salaries? No marketing? Fast acquisition based on Goodwill assets? My heart goes out to all the many fine people who believed in IBI. if your legit Glassdoor you will allow this article.
