Pros

Decent compensation in line with market standards, good central location, some perks like onsite Gym, restaurant with breakfast and lunch at a fair price, daycare, share investment program, yearly bonus (although 2019 wasn’t given). Pension and health benefits are good as well.

Cons

It was a decent place to work a few years ago, but recently a new change in management has soured things, specially in the IT department. Three different CIOs in as many years, and each of them with their own view on how to modernize/manage IT. They stopped caring for the employee and now they are treated as an expense. Lack of motivation to come to work, they just want you to be at the office for 40 hours, work life balance in the gutter, no WFH policies in this day and age. They’re now trying to outsource everything offshore and career advancement has slowed to a crawl (i.e. no training unless you know the right people). Massive layoff of employees, losing years of experience and knowledge just to cut expenses to satisfy shareholders so they don’t muddle their precious key indicators. Such conditions and micromanagement are causing a mass exodus from the company, people leaving for greener pastures and serve them right. They show how little they care on those PR copy/paste responses to the reviews. Talking to management doesn’t do much, at all. The few ones who care have their hands tied by the upper echelons and the rest don’t give a hoot. Project management is complete hell, they bring an army of consultants to hack some solution as quick and as cheap as possible and then leave it to permanent staff to deal with the fallout and try to support a messy application.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your hard work while at CN. With a 24/7/365 operation CN could not function without our dedicated employees. We hope that you shared this with our colleague during your exit interview so we can develop strategies to do better in the future and that you have found a position that is more in line with your career expectations.
