Pros

Beer on Friday's, free coffee, great co-workers (only those under the age of 50), public transit coverage, MSP coverage (BC).

Cons

I didn't realize how rampant sexual harassment is in the workplace in this day and age until I spent 2 years working at RDH. Everyday I felt like I was in a bad episode of "Mad Men". I had men rub my shoulders, tell me to make them coffee (that wasn't part of my job description) and frequently heard men talking about the physical appearance of women in the office. The female staff across all departments and at all levels were treated very poorly and with little respect in the Vancouver office. Support staff and reception frequently had work dumped on them at the eleventh hour by people who thought that they were their assistants (they weren't) and female PM's, senior engineers and managers constantly had to pick up the slack and take on extra projects/committees for the lazy men in the office who always seemed to always be "busy" but never really got anything done. This place is full of dudes who have no idea how to manage their time after 20+ years in the industry, and need a "Mommy" to figure it out for them. There was a mass exodus of women at all levels in the office at this time because of this attitude.

I want to thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. It is important to me that our staff feel safe in informally and formally raising concerns or complaints; and that they have confidence that the matters will be viewed or investigated appropriately and objectively. RDH is committed to maintaining and promoting a work environment where all employees are treated with respect and dignity and as such our policy for handling concerning allegations such as yours are clearly documented in our Employment Manual. RDH takes allegations of all forms of harassment very seriously and complies with the requirements of the Human Rights Code and Federal and Provincial/State laws and policies. Additionally, we have a Gender Working Group with objectives such as facilitating the creation of a support network with both formal and informal avenues for resolution of issues as they arise. The group also works to raise awareness around conscious and subconscious gender biases along with other similar objectives. I would appreciate the opportunity to talk with you about your experience in detail. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.
