      Pros

      Benefits were good and I liked the location of the office. They taught me some good lessons about not expecting your employer to care about what you are going through and an understanding that you should treat your job as a tool that works for you in the same way that the company treats employees.

      Cons

      No consideration for life events. I had an extended illness and traumatic loss in my family. That was the first year I received a does not meet expectations rating. The level of callousness they showed was startling. Even more so in hindsight.

      Pros

      Honestly not a lot. The few good people in there are some of the best I've ever worked with and made working bearable.

      Cons

      Well known toxicity from a few individuals, but nothing is done as people fear of retaliation if they report it. (Passive aggression from the known ego, rather than from management) Misogyny is an issue as I know of female colleagues crying after certain calls and unwanted attention from a few. One joked it was a perk of working from home, so no one sees. No work culture with two drink vouchers and finger food for Christmas parties to be as much as you can expect. All the great people I worked with left and no replacements in sight adding to everyone elses workload. Salary is well below the market rate with other companies in the area. Everything above just makes you not enjoy working there. Everyday you'll become more unhappy and hope the next reorganization (they happened too often) will change, but it doesn't.

      Pros

      LRT nearby to walk to the office

      Cons

      "Leaders" happily throw you under the bus. Doesn't listen to employees and rushes to implement things and yet doesn't take responsibility for ownership.
