Cardno Reviews

May be a good company to work for - in about five years. This is a word of warning to potential employees: Let the dust settle before you risk working for a company that's still trying to find its north star. Top management talks a good talk, but it becomes clear after the gloss fades that their lofty goals are based on dollars in their back pockets, with no anticipated trickle-down effect to the workers. Vertical accountability with no teamwork makes for a difficult work environment. If you need professional mentoring, look elsewhere. It's every man/woman for him/herself right now.

Where do I even start! Work-Life balance or flexible hours they are advertising are non existent. Hours they expect you to work - you might as well sleep in the office and forget that you have family, friends or any social life. Some managers don't even know basic things about you after a decade spent with them on a daily basis and some try to micromanage your every move. There is no opportunity for advancing in your position and there is strong "boys club" mentality going on. Salaries are highly non competitive compared to other companies. Shares they might give you are a perk only for the company and not really for you as you can't use them for 3 years. I haven't received any meaningful training during my time there either. I have given Cardno many years to see if it will get better and it was only getting worse.
