Pros
  • Fellow employees (for the most part) were great.
  • Work was interesting.
  • The Ottawa office was nice and had a good gym.
Cons
  • Senior management is killing the company.
  • Poor salary, no pay raises, and minuscule bonuses considering the amount of overtime worked. Even those rated a 1 got minimal raises and bonuses.
  • Poor morale; people are fearful of the next 'Resource Action' (aka layoffs).
Advice to Management
  • Treat employees like people, not as expendables.
  • Listen to employee feedback.
  • Stop blaming the economy and be accountable.
