      Depends on the part of the organization

      Managing director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Average benefits and if you're in the US within Tech, Risk, or Compliance usually have the option to work some days remotely. Some good leaders, however, a lot of high level leadership turnover with the former CEO retiring...some good ones left, some bad ones left too.

      Cons

      Overall lower pay than competitors for tech and tech risk jobs. We consistently lost out on hiring top talent because the process for approval of an offer and/or counter offer took too long. Initial offers were no where near the competition for US employees. With a Canadian company, harder to get anywhere with Canadian based HR when it came to the US job market and attracting and retaining talent.

      Large Company, Small feel

      Human resources consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great values. Good overall total package. Competitive compensation. 401k match of 5%, HSA company contribution. Commuter benefits. Tuition Reimbursement. Flexible work arrangements, with manager approval. Great people. Diversity and Inclusion is discussed all the time. Culture is discussed all the time. Nice place to work.

      Cons

      People managers need training on how to develop their people. They also need to be held accountable. Not enough middle management buys into the benefits of an inclusive environment of diverse people. More talk than action. Though it is a large company with growth potential, there's not a lot of opportunities to move around to grow for the majority of people. Management develops their favorites. Typical corporate environment.
