Pros

You are made to feel that you are part of one of the top architectural firms in the world.

Cons

In reality, it might be at the top but not the best. You need to know to play dirty politics to advance in the company. otherwise, you will be taken for granted and the manager could use phrases like" you don't deserve what you get" Got some very rude comments from the manager. This is only at the Vancouver location. Toronto was not that bad.

IBI Group Response

Thank you for taking time to write a review. We appreciate the advice provided and note that impromptu reviews are being done, at any given time, by management and staff. We are sorry to hear about the negative experience you had while working at IBI Group. The phrase of rude comments from managers is not acceptable as we only want to foster a positive, comfortable, and safe work environment for our staff. We take this feedback seriously and although you are no longer with the company, this is a matter that we will investigate further, to work towards a more positive relationship between staff and management.
