Business Outlook

Pros

Products are generally very good and avant guard! Lots of tenured employees with passion.

Cons

Upper management is disconnected from the reality. Managing up is Lots a smokescreen initiatives to promote employee well being and inclusion/ diversity. The treatment of employees retiring after 30 plus years of service is embarrassing. We made the best employer list in the GTA area I am not sure what the credentials are but totally false. Operationally we are a mess and nobody wants to hear the truth.
