Pros

I have nothing good to say

Cons

Glassdoor rating makes me think many of the reviews are fake. Worked there over 10 years in Canada in 5 different departments. 90% of the coworkers I knew was miserable. Overworked and underpaid. Terrible managers were promoted who didn't know how to manage or even the first thing about the team they were supposed to lead. Saw hundreds of people I knew laid off due to offspring. Finally left to a company where I feel more valued. 0/10 would recommend.

- Loads of politics. - Firing is common and frequent in the company. - Although they say they are transparent, they are not at all. - Zero Hike at times. - Senior management is very unstable.

Pros

- Big name - Big brand - Okish salary -Supportive immediate managers

Cons

- Managing director who is global head has no knowledge on reporting - For whole cybersecurity there is only one fellow who is managing reports of whole cyber - Misbehaving global head making fake claims of being friendly and good leader. - They stab voices and shout out that we have speak up forums. - Any how they will prove their point and discrimination between different GCB levels. - I still remember the word “You lack common-sense” from the great fellow. - toxis work culture. - A direct reporting manager of this managing director ran away after resign without any handovers so you can imagine the frustration of that employee. - They keep on boasting about themselves and never deliver best to their clients nor to their employees. - Don’t join cyber team at all.
