Pluspunten

Can't think of any notable pros.

Minpunten

Micromanagement: A pervasive issue in our office is the constant surveillance by anonymous individuals who report on the activities of team members to direct supervisors. These reports often focus on trivial matters such as attire, excessive phone usage, or perceived inefficiency. This antiquated approach undermines employee autonomy and trust. Individuals should be empowered to manage their workloads effectively, taking breaks as needed while meeting deadlines and maintaining a high standard of work. Lack of Appreciation and Recognition: A significant concern is the management team's failure to acknowledge and reward employee contributions. This lack of recognition can lead to decreased morale and motivation. Incompetent Leadership: Management often demonstrates a lack of knowledge and preparedness, holding meetings without clear plans or goals. Additionally, there is a reluctance to consider input or advice from team members. Inter-Team Tensions: Underlying tensions between team heads can create a hostile work environment and hinder collaboration. Lack of Transparency: A lack of transparency regarding policies and procedures can lead to confusion, frustration, and a sense of unfairness among employees. Insufficient Succession Planning: A lack of a well-defined succession plan has led to high turnover rates. This failure to prepare for future leadership vacancies indicates a lack of foresight and planning. Inadequate Training: The absence of adequate training programs further exacerbates the issues within the organization. This lack of development opportunities contributes to employee dissatisfaction and a decline in overall performance. Poor Documentation and Frequent Process Changes: The lack of clear and consistent documentation, coupled with frequent changes to work processes, creates confusion, inefficiency, and a sense of instability among employees.

Pluspunten

- Laid back informal structure (but still efficient) - Found the hours to be good and regular - Great management (good people that know what they are doing) - Generally a smart and good bunch of employees - Past and current CEO are experts and also good natured with stellar (well liked by all from what I have seen) - Great HR staff - Alot going on future (development)

Minpunten

- would also say that growth opportunities are limited and promotions are not structured as you find in other fields - no RRSP match (although I do not care about this)

Minpunten

Absolutely awful culture Long hours are expected every day Taking your vacation is frowned upon and a frustrating process Work life balance isn't possible if you want to have a future there They feel they own you Half hearted attempts at things like fitness programs fall short of useful Salary is not competitive No pension or long term incentives Benefits offered are the bare minimum and have been scaled back in recent years Very few opportunities to move up Management spends an absurd amount of time babysitting grown men and women Degrading attempts to blame others is the norm Favouritism and nepotism are rampant Be prepared to be scolded for what others are commended for - double standards are ridiculous Everyone is in a constant state of panic for what inevitably turns out to be nothing urgent at all No opportunities to actually make decisions or use common sense Essentially a sweat shop where you're expected to be quiet for as long as humanly possible and do mindless work
