CPCS: Solutions for growing economies

CPCS rewards its employees with a total compensation package for the whole person that reflects our beliefs and who we want in our team.

A different kind of company

Our recruiting process is meticulous to hire the best talent. It’s in part why our team of 150 members has fun working on complex and pressing infrastructure challenges and our company is enjoying sustainable growth.

Many of our people left large and well-known consulting firms and bureaucratic jobs to join our one-of-a-kind employee-owned company. They want to be here because we reward results, value entrepreneurship and give incredible freedom and autonomy.

Everyone at CPCS, consultants and corporate professionals, make a comfortable living and high performers do very well personally, financially and professionally.

Competitive base salaries

We benchmark base salaries to the third quartile for our industry, based on data from the Economic Research Institute. Other companies may offer you a higher base salary, but our total compensation package is worth a good look.

Financial rewards for high-performing contributors

We place a big emphasis on performance pay, which consists of bonuses and sharing profit. For our strong performers, when looking at their quantitative and qualitative contributions, they generally earn financial rewards well above what other firms in our industry offer.

Our work hours are reasonable too. According to Consulting.ca and other sources, most management consultants work 50 to 80 hours a week. Typically, if they pay you more, they’ll likely expect you to work more too. At CPCS, while some of us may from time to time work more hours due to the nature of certain roles, most work on average between 40 and 45 hours a week. This leaves ample time for life outside work.

Performance pay varies based on job role and levels. People in different positions contribute to our success in various ways. Some do client-facing work, others do more project management while others add value by working on the business.

More than 50% of our employees own shares in CPCS

Team members who show deep interest in CPCS, are strong performers and contribute to our company’s development are offered the opportunity to buy and own shares in CPCS.

We see that culture of ownership and accountability as a reward in itself.

Share ownership has yielded, on average, a 20% return on equity for employee shareholders since our program began in 1996. This is the magic of employee ownership. We get to chart our path, work towards more satisfying business goals and make CPCS a company we enjoy being part of.
