Pros

International Exposure - Diversity of Workforce Decent salary

Cons

Condescendent Partner. She litterally calls everyone one a Donkey whenever her emotions take over. I got fired for doing my job too fast fast. It's a staffing firm, not a consulting firm. They didn't pay our bonuses in 2023; which was so needed in a high inflation period. The work is repetitive, contracts un-intersting in Toronto, the compete based off cost rather than differentiation and the main client is Scotia bank back office. Filled with non-native english speakers immigrating to Canada; having to keep a job for at least 2 years for them to stay in Canada. Whitin a year, all MDs but one had quit the firm and one director as well left.

Pros

Coworkers are nice and some managers are supportive

Cons

Low pay and the way year-end reviews are done is ajoke. Going above and beyond at this company means having to work 5-9 after your 9-5. They expect you to have no life for measly pay. Turn over rate is high. Offices are disjointed. Leadership are having "benchmarking" contests left and right for sales. Anyway good people are leaving this company because honestly, they expect you to just grind it out without the pay of a big tier firm. Gender diversity is also seriously lacking at the top.
