Not a pleasant company to work for

Pros

people (some), discounted lunches, free parking, nice office

Cons

There are certain people who have a hidden agenda and will stab you in the back at the first opportunity - do not trust anyone in their HR dept if you want to remain sane - I was bullied, talked about behind my back and when I raised it with my manager they didn't believe me - it go so bad I went on sick due to severe depression which I still suffer from now - I wanted to raise a grievance but was encouraged not too

You'll get whiplash from all the changes

Pros

Work with some very intelligent colleagues and added greatly to my marketable skill set

Cons

It's a culture in which everything must be done immediately and there are no boundaries regarding personal time. The company is constantly changing its focus and projects are often left unfinished when new issues or projects arise, making it extremely challenging to complete goals. Change appears to be made at the whim of the senior management. For example, the company is moving all corporate employees to one central office in a high cost-of-living city, with very little office space to accommodate newly transferred employees. Company is also moving payroll-related functions to a new city at the same time they are transitioning to a new work platform. Said moves are resulting in a huge loss of institutional knowledge for employees rejecting relocation. Other regional offices and home-based workers beware...no job is safe.) There is a significant lack of communication between key corporate departments resulting in duplication of efforts, or in some cases, certain departments are taking reign over certain processes with little or no vetting to those impacted with these changes. Shelf-life of the North American CEO role is typically 3 years. If you can stay around and weather another change it might get better - or it might get worse.

Pros

There are absolutely no Pros

Cons

A dog eat dog environment. Everyone in management has their own agenda - themselves. They enjoy being patronising, sarcastic and belittling - its a blood sport. The worse you behave the higher up in the organisation you go. Anyone with an ounce of integrity will not want to work for this organisation.
