Overworked underpaid and bleak company future

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Culture used to be good, however every team is drowning in work with no leadership or vision and morale has greatly suffered. In the past year employee turnover has been extremely high. Location is good above the subway. Work from home is available.

Cons

Unimpressive pay, only get bonuses if company meets targets which is not often. Sometimes management will hold "discretionary" bonuses over employees heads and reward based on favouritism with no solid metrics shared as to decision making process. Hires mainly kids straight out of school to pay peanuts, once they get a year or two experience under their belt they leave for greener pastures and better work life balance.

Pros

great benefits, allows for flexibility in work schedule, some great managers and interesting work

Cons

still developing software, so everyone is figuring it out caught between legacy of Vision Critical/ Matchbox and the new eDR/Maru group vision, which is still a bit vague. lack of tech support and adequate training from the eDR team; the roll-out of new software felt rushed and incomplete as they separated from VC software aggressive sales targets but lack the tools to execute at the speed and agility that clients are expecting internal politics, silos and bureaucracy that bog down efficiency, and add drama over-time with no compensation; workloads are consistently too high for 8h days
