Pros
-Work from Home option 2 to 3 days a week -Flexible working hours -Extremely talented project teams -Close to union station
Kontras
-A lot of favoritism in the IT department. Employees with very little experience are promoted every year while the experienced talented staff is getting demoted ( or as they would call it restructuring). Promotions are based on CIOs favorites and all loud Ryerson/Wilfred Laurier grads are becoming supervisors here. -No recognition for efforts you put in. -Politics in IT department is off the roof. If you socialize and befriend the right people , you can go places here as talent really has no significance. -Micromanagement in each step you perform in the project. -Project Strategy keeps changing every day and its very hard for project teams to realign and work with changes everyday. Projects are brought back in scope and then put on hold very often. -No respect for the people they hire. Management hires and fires people before even seeing their potential. -Absolutely no diversity on the floor. -As some other people have mentioned in their review, it is true that CIO is definitely the reason for a lot of people leaving. Very bad attitude and a very bad example of leadership. -Management engages in a lot of gossip and bad mouthing employees behind their backs.
