Pros

Salary and Benefits average not super high per IT standard

Cons

- Leaders have climbed and sustained with just one criteria that is Favoritism gained not by skills and knowledge but otherwise - They lack basic understanding of IT guiding principles and processes - Many bullying leaders who scream at individuals in meetings senior leaders behave disrespectful on meetings having large audiences - There is clear conflict of interest how contracts are granted to vendors there are many insiders coming from or closely related to leaders in the vendor company. Leaders bring vendor in support them then the vendor supports leaders narrative but then other leaders with different favorite vendors only keep questioning to show they know more whereas the whole system is broken and only living to answer on meetings rather than doing the right thing - One will be judged the moment they walk in and never given a fair chance to survive even though they are knowledgeable, with great determination and passion for their team and work - People take pride in top down hierarchical management and bulldozing over their own teams for building narratives to present the leaders - Respect and Trust are mere words to pressure others for being in control while the leaders and so called leaders constantly put those at bay - This is most corrupt and abusing organization I have ever worked for where humanity does not exist over egos - HR is namesake they will never help you for anything - They throw something like “Trust but verify” at you all the time but that actually means “never trust” anyone for nothing, even though the person has knowledge and honesty they must only feed your narrative - Everyone surviving either has family members in or wanting to bring more family members in the future

Pros

- Salary is decent. For IT, salary can be considered below average. - Good benefits especially Stock Purchase and Long term bonus if you are eligible for it

Cons

- Poor leadership especially IT and Cybersecurity. CIO is from business and CISO does not have enough leadership experience. Also, no cybersecurity background therefore the program lacks a vision and no one knows where the team is heading. No real learning or program growth can happen. - Growth can only happen if you can lick your boss shoes - No work life balance - Dictatorship culture - Rigid 5 days onsite - No farewells even for employees who have spent decades. Imagine the culture - Water cooler talks are looked down upon. - Working hours are tracked by badge swipe ins and outs - Without qualifying for Long Term Bonus, Salary is below average. Even that LTB is locked in for first three years making you a slave before u can get it. - Everything is urgent. basically there is no priority and things keep coming down from top thereby overloading only few members who deliver in the team. Leadership just adds pressure to those individuals whereas freeloaders enjoy doing nothing. - Lot of politics. Such level that senior leaders dont have cordial relationship amongst themselves. When rumors spread, they will pressurize their teams not to spread rumors rather than fixing the issue. - Plan to layoff Canadian employees after acquiring KCS. Played dirty games like Meta.

Pros

Pay is good but it comes at a cost

Cons

Management is very old school, five days in office no flexibility. They watch when you come in and go and work is not on a deliverable basis
