Pros

None at this point. Reviews talking about 401k and pensions are USA based. In Canada, their offerings are standard at best.

Cons

"Future of Work" was an often mentioned phrase to increase the work/life balance of all employees. As Covid happened we all began to work remotely - as it turns out, the best years this company has ever experienced in terms of profitability. Coming out of this, they did an employee survey to help determine how the employees wished to return to the office, or otherwise work. They never did actually release the results of this survey (despite promises to do so). And as of Nov. 6th, 2023, have forced almost the entire workforce back into the office full time. When asked if the employee survey backed up this decision, management stated "they didn't know the results" but also "results varied". Seems contradictory. Malcom the CEO is quoted as saying if employees don't want to be in the office, they aren't the right fit for this company, and he has no problem hiring new people. Although he might have a problem when the new people quit as well. Zero honestly. Zero respect for employees. Zero concern over any happiness or wellbeing issues for employees. If you want a company that is moving backwards, this is the one for you.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
