Some good people but some toxic managers, beware

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Nice office with plenty of morning teas, free breakfast daily and some lovely and knowledgeable staff

Cons

Toxic managers with unrealistic expectations and damaging management styles resulting in high staff turnover and low team morale. Pay is also not competitive compared to other firms.

IT infrastructure is lacking

Senior planner

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Nice offices and free food.

Cons

Didn’t have a functioning computer for 6 weeks. This impacted my productivity and output. IT would only replace my laptop once the warranty with Microsoft was sorted out which took well over a month. No effort was made to provide me with a temporary replacement or a new laptop straight away. The cost of a surface pro is a minor expense for a company of that size.

Dunning–Kruger effect

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good work / life balance and a nice office.

Cons

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where a firm or its senior leaders overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This is Urbis in a nutshell. The problem is not just poor judgement, it is a complete inability to recognise their own incompetence.
