Pros

Free drinks, decent co-workers, good compensation and benefits

Cons

You have to be ready for some really stressful parts of the year. Up until maybe 6 months ago, the company had a notorious reputation for long, long hours but a large majority has seen significant decrease in overtime. I can count on leaving on time at least 3 times a week with a good chance of more. This might seem weird to note but that was unheard of in the 12 months prior to the change. There's a really high turnover in one of the largest departments of the company, which means there are an awful lot of newbs floating around. And they do not get the best training, mostly learning through trial by fire. Not a good way to keep employees around.

Pros

Company has done well in managing the difficult aspects of communciating with all levels of staff after a prolonged growth phase in developing the Toronto office into a strategic, full-service operation. Senior management initiated town hall meetings for all levels of staff to disseminate company information regarding short/long-term vision, direction, strategy and results.

Cons

Difficult to ensure all levels of staff have a voice and can be heard as the company has become larger and more 'bureaucratic'. Communcation channels bottom-up or top-down varies group to group. Communication from senior management on key issues has at times taken a long period of time. Company beginning to show signs of form and shape of a large banking operation with employees experiencing greater feeling of 'disconnect'.
