Pros

Mission to cure diabetes is noble.

Cons

Toxic culture starting with CEO. Censorship of Glassdoor and social media. Staff can't shine a light on unwanted truths. In employee surveys, we are told to only share 'positive intent'. We can't make decisions for our local markets. Everything goes through a bureaucratic ladder resulting in the wrong decisions, no innovation, and a low performing culture.

Pros

Benefits package is OK. Good cause.

Cons

Avoid JDRF Canada at all costs. Backstabbing, corporate slander, bullying and managers throwing direct reports under the bus at NSO are frequent occurrences. Laid off a ton of people in July due to COVID-19 and not three weeks later, started hiring for the roles they just axed. That should tell you everything you need to know about JDRF Canada. Short story: There are better places to work. If you want to retain your sanity, don't work here.
