BRMi Response
9yAs stated in our Open Door Policy, BRMi greatly values open communication at all levels within the company. We also welcome honest, constructive feedback from all current and former employees in the form of Glassdoor reviews.
BRMi applauds this Glassdoor contributor’s recommendation that Project Managers speak with team members in advance and share the timeline for deliverables before making a commitment to our clients, and will make every effort in the future to implement this suggestion when feasible.
The company has been working hard to improve and implement our communication strategy, as evidenced by our Quarterly All-Hands meetings, Town Hall meetings and monthly Newsflashes. In addition. the senior executives that lead our vertical and horizontal lanes within BRMi’s matrixed structure conduct monthly and/or biweekly meetings (account management, project management, and pod lead) to ensure the flow of information to/from all staff.
However, a number of this reviewer’s comments regarding lack of diversity, lack of direction, and BRMi’s holiday schedule are a source of bewilderment. Few companies have achieved BRMi’s ethnic and racial diversity, and the company’s cultural awareness and positive work environment clearly reflects this diversity. Further, 50% of our Senior Management Team positions are held by minorities and females.
BRMi strongly discourages favoritism at all levels within the company, and recently implemented a horizontal pod team organizational structure to assure employees of our commitment to impartiality.
Finally, BRMi has ALWAYS recognized Martin Luther King Day as a paid holiday for employees.
