Pros

Work from home No micro-managing

Cons

Trying to remove the work from home advantages Salary is below market It feels like the leadership is not listening to employees High turnover due to the way the teams are managed Consulting firm without the consulting mindset. The employee go on-site with minimum resources, have to share car rentals, hotels are low end, budget for food while travelling is low. Will pretend they are interested in your personal growth but won't implement anything in reality. Holidays are 3 weeks to start with one week that is mandatory is december. Very few additional holidays with experience. Work from home but no budget to be sure employees have a correct set-up. IT team is the worst ever which decreases productivity. Toronto team has office days downtown in a meeting room with a very poor setting which doesn't allow employee to work properly. You literally cannot perform on that day AND contract says work from home! Benefits are at the bare minimum.

Toxic leadership, unstable organization that continuously carries out mass terminations and unqualified promotions. An environment of “don’t speak up” about issues or deficiencies.
