Pros

Social Committee plans fun things, benefits package is decent, co-workers are awesome, the actual office its-self is nice.

Cons

hourly pay and pay increases are minimal, no bonuses, little support for employees with families, no in office training to enhance your skills, do not earn paid vacation while on mat-leave, every department within the company runs differently so a lot of unfair business inside.

Pros

Social Committee activities. Hybrid schedule (work in the office for 2 days and at home for 3 days). RRSP match-up. The people are nice.

Cons

No possibility of advancement. They don't recognize your talent or potential. If you're good at your position, they will most likely leave you there forever so you can never have a chance to advance in your career. They brag about all their accomplishments and profit every year, but the company is actually really cheap. Annual raise is not even equivalent to the cost of living increase. They waste everyone's time by forcing us to fill up the annual objectives (Performance Excellence Process) and it just goes nowhere. No matter how hard you've worked that year, you will only get that small 1%-2.5% increase, some even got none. Favouritism is played in certain department. They close a blind eye on some worker who doesn't do much just because they are friends' with. If you don't have kids or a dog to feed at home, expect to always be the one to be asked to stay behind. Ask for overtime and make you feel bad if you're not available. The management are not very professional. The HR takes forever to answer any emails and have no connection nor any interest to know any staff. You are only allowed an unpaid 30 mins lunch break for the entire day. No breaks in between. They only give you 2 paid sick days per year. YES, you've heard it right 2 ONLY!! They insurance benefit package is poor, not much coverage. No bonus.

Pros

Nice office space, they give you lots of freedom, aren't breathing down your neck and just let you work, benefits

Cons

Favouritism/nepotism. Depending on who you are, you get treated differently. Some people can work from home and some can't, even if they're from the same team. They'll tell one person they can only work from home one day a week but another member on your team can work from home everyday. They guilt you into working overtime due to their choice on understaffing and running a skeleton crew. If you leave on time, you are looked down upon. People work 14 hour days as if that's a normal thing to do. They baby their clients to the point where staff are expected to bow down to their unreasonable timelines/requests. They didn't list pay on the job listing so they pay people on the same team differently despite having similar years of experience/skills. No bonuses and minimal raises. Doesn't matter how well you do yearly, you won't move up in the company or make much more money.
