Fisheries - Anonymous employee Rescan Environmental Employee Review

Excellent pay. Environmental consulting company with a strong science base and good engineers too (not the typical engineering company with a few scientists tacked on). "Big Science". Rescan takes on large, complex projects with multimillion dollar budgets. No running around doing silly little backyard projects.

Projects lack diversity. It's 90% mining in Northern Canada with the odd international job. No room for seniors to grow. Executive management is young, so you will remain a senior scientist or project manager forever if you wait for them to retire. Very poor work/life balance - no flexibility in hours, telecommuting not allowed, only 3 weeks vacation per year. CEO does not trust his employees - no working from home, must sign in/out of the building just to get a coffee.

good entry level staffers and low managers. Upper level management lost in the clouds. Pay is ok. Benefits ok. Bonuses are ridiculous and petty.

management is lost in the clouds - cheap cheap cheap. Bonuses are mysterious and non existant. lack of motivation other than negative input from senior management.
