Pluspunten

Fairly laid back Management is hands-off

Minpunten

I worked in the Toronto office, which came along for the ride when FIS bought Sanchez Computer Associates way back when, so my experience may not be typical of this fairly large company. The main problem I experienced was that if you worked on the IT side, you didn't get any respect from the rest of the company, especially senior management. Management had this strange notion where if a developer leaves, he can be easily replaced with another off the street and the team can just carry on without missing a step. That's foolish to say the least, yet time and again key technical people would leave the company and they did nothing to improve the situation. Just another programmer, right? It was no wonder that clients were steadily moving to their competitors.

Pluspunten

Most colleagues are well intentioned, but stretched beyond the max.

Minpunten

After filing for FMLA, my “leader” encouraged me not to involve HR in the future. The whole point of FMLA is job protection. Him making this suggestion, at best, seems highly unethical and potentially illegal. Some leaders are good with people. Others are more techno sound. The ones that can effectively do both are let go. It makes no sense and the company offers little transparency.
