operations manager

LEA Consulting Ltd.

The company is going through a lot of changes, many which seem to be pointless and self-motivated. The culture is full of gossip, people whispering in hallways, behind closed doors. 
Management will tell you there is an 'open door policy' and that there is a flat corporate structure. The reality is a new manager at every corner, most managers look like they're winging it to be honest. And the open door policy is only valid if you agree to every new useless policy the president wants to put in place. 
The tech is an absolute JOKE, there is no COO so the President (tech dinosaur) is in charge of leading IT. Yet they like to spew about smart cities. It's laughable. Too bad, because it seems like there are a lot of good people who just couldn't care less anymore. Seems like a very dysfunctional organization.

I joined LEA Consulting because during the interview process I was promised a great culture, training, and good teamwork. I'm pretty sure I joined a different company than what I interviewed for. Once I signed the dotted line, everything changed.
The company is going through a lot of changes. If you kiss the right butts and can do your manager's work for them, you may do well. If you believe in trust, mutual respect, learning, and collaboration, then I do not recommend LEA Consulting.
The communication between groups is appalling. Vice President having temper tantrums in the corridor. All management cares about is $$. You know it's bad when people are openly looking for jobs instead of working.  

The annual holiday party is a nice gesture. However, it seems quite self-serving though, and an excuse to treat many employees poorly the rest of the year.

Doing some calculations, drawings check, attending meetings, discussing about the project and details with other parties and colleagues, answering to telephones, performing solutions for the technical problems issued form the site of the projects and other departments such as architectural, mechanical, and electrical
I learned how can help a project to save time and budget, also raising up the quality of the engineering deliverables.
The work place was good and people were good too.
The job contract was for a limited time that was the hardest part.
The job that I got involved with was so challenging and every day needed to solve a major items and part that was so exiting for me because that made me to learn more and study more to find out solutions and discussing about them.

An employee-owned engineering consulting company managing a multi-million-dollar portfolio of programs and projects in Canada, India, Africa, and the Middle East. The company has a very supportive and responsive management team and they are always working on creating better working conditions for their teams. Also, the company supports a variety of charitable organizations and causes to give back to the community.

Managment is self centered-only interested in making short term decisions as all of them are close to retirement. The company as a whole is not good at training new employees so anyone that comes aboard has to develop the old school way because that is the way things have been done.  Dinosaurs are preventing this company from becoming progressive which is needed for the size of the firm. Very obvious that most positive reviews are being posted by HR.

The pervasive micro-management breeds an environment of constant humiliation for any errors made, compounded by the glaring neglect of HR towards employee concerns. The existence of a social club seems a shallow attempt to mask the reality of a decidedly unfriendly work atmosphere.

Each and every day for employees is different, which made it an adventure to get in and see what the day would involve. Some days you would find yourself able to take more time with tasks than others, however other days, responsibilities were rushed due to pressured timelines for client requests.

If you have experience in engineering technology or branches of it such as environmental, then you will have a great time working here. My experience was amazing, learned an abundance of useful skills.

Casual Traffic surveyor work - decent pay with good opportunity for teamwork. Will be instructed to go to location to carry out surveying jobs with or without equipment.

Small Company.  Too much business politics. 
Do not recommend to work there. 
Not a stable job security. 
Best Christmas Party. 

Some really nice people to work with. 2 locations in Toronto.
