Pros

Benefits package was good, and an option to buy stock in company (however, the stock price keeps falling). Interesting products and services I helped support.

Cons

Management kept piling on work Salaries are horrendously low for the industry Do not replace employees that have left the company Continue to work on a shoestring budget for overhead (non-profitable departments)

Pros

I was pushed pretty hard but it was really worth it. Early on, you probably will not have a great work life balance but after 6-7 months it eases up as you gain trust and know what you're doing. I learned so much and it was worth it!

Cons

Learning curve can be steep for new grads, work life balance will be pretty bad at the beginning

Pros

The people are wonderful and help each other grow.

Cons

Pay sucks, some departments are extremely bored and underutilized while others are overworked and burnt out. The engineers are unionized and negotiations are extremely stressful whenever they occur. The company doesn't think we're worth a fair wage and upper management is awful, taking a 20% pay raise and telling employees tough luck when asking for a raise to alleviate the effects of inflation. I've never had a 1:1 with my manager. He has no idea what I actually do. I was promised challenging technical work and was given documentation to do. People are extremely unproductive. Most work an actual 2-3 hours per day and the rest is wasted time, either due to useless meetings or socialization. The software systems used are extremely outdated and frustrating. Rumors speculate we'll be going back to 5 days in office once we move in the new year. They refuse to give an actual reason why we need to be in 3 days a week at the moment when most employees agree it's harming their productivity. Brampton also sucks for commuting. There's also a train track that basically blocks the entire area for 20ish minutes if you get unlucky timing when you leave work.
