Pros

The team is made up of great colleagues who are supportive and collaborative. Compensation, benefits, and RSP contributions are competitive and generous

Cons

There are some challenges with management and leadership. Favoritism can be noticeable, and not all associates feel equally valued or recognized for their contributions. Career advancement opportunities are limited, particularly due to the small team size in Canada. Your experience can vary significantly depending on your manager — with the right leadership, it can be a supportive and positive environment, but with less effective management, it may feel micromanaged and demotivating. The company culture has shifted recently, and overall employee morale appears to be declining.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
