High-pressure culture without high-pressure rewards
High-pressure culture without high-pressure rewards
Get to work with cool tech, and there are some great people here.
The comp team doesn’t understand Canada and market norms. It’s this constant pressure to raise the bar for average pay. I believe this is worse outside of engineering too. There’s no RRSP matching, even though the recruiter promised it was coming during my recruitment process. There are no bonuses. The company outsources lots of functions to save costs – doesn’t really scream “cares about local communities” to me. Hiring and promotions are slow due to zero headcount growth over the last three years.
If you’re going to hire in other countries, get a perspective from outside the US instead of trying to impose US norms here. And rethink the use of BPOs when we are supposed to be about supporting local.
