Pros

- Process moved very quickly. Within 3 weeks decisions were made - Very accommodating schedules - Clear on expectations - From Recruitment, Hiring Manager to HR Director pleasant and quick - Good benefits.(Health Spending, Wellness, DCPP, RRSP match) -Culture is very good - Hybrid

Cons

- Lost vacation weeks from previous employer. There is no wiggle room on this. It is company policy - Background check took long - Lean team so you need to be the kind to be agile and pivot as needed. This may not work for everyone.
