    I was told I was hired during an interview, I haven’t turned in an official resignation to my current job. How long should I wait before I contact hiring manager about onboard information? A couple days or a week? I was told onboard info would show up in my junk mail. Kinda mixed vibes bc the Interviewer wasn’t giving the proper eye contact. It started out indirect. I got a tour of the facility and a pay rate. Instant hire. I’m kinda weary. That last I was instantly hired the place was toxic.

      Pros

      The vacation and sick day allotment is extremely generous. The work day is flexible, although that is dependent on your team. People are genuinely nice.

      Cons

      CIHI lacks a vision for the future. The CEO and upper management is stuck in a 1990s mentality when times have changed. This is reflected in the quality of work. It's difficult to "move up". Most career moves will be lateral rather than vertical, it's very difficult to gain a promotion. Despite the difficultly in being promoted, middle management is extremely bloated. While committed to diversity, upper management is extremely white.

      Pros

      Did a good job when Covid hit, kept people updated, communicated and put employee safety first Good pension plan Smart colleagues Work that matters and impacts Canadians People care about our mandate Christmas office closure Ample time off extended to employees for appointments (medical, school, bank etc)

      Cons

      The RTO has been stressful on a lot of employees and they’re leaving in droves HR is incompetent, the department isn’t well respected internally at all for many reasons Change can be slow/difficult Very hard to move around or get promoted. (I applied for a lateral move internally and didn’t get contacted AT ALL, despite meeting all of the qualification criteria) Compulsory to go into the office on a weekly basis, not moving with the times. ITS had a Town hall to address employee concerns (namely the significant portion of people leaving), it left more people annoyed than anything. Hard to get courses paid for even though it’s listed as a benefit A lot of great people have walked away and a lot of who are left are looking externally Micro management mentality

      Pros

      The pension plan is great, the people I work with are competent and good to deal with, my immediate superior makes me feel valued.

      Cons

      The outdated pay, the shell of health plan it used to be and now having to return to office at least once a week for no reason is making people in IT leave in droves, to the point a town hall meeting was called with senior management and the CEO for questions. In this meeting they confirmed they knew already they can't compete in salary with the market so the plan is to hire a bunch of people fresh off universities to replace experienced professionals; when asked if we can at least work fully remote, they played dumb answering "but you already do, after the minimum days you have to work in the office", which was pretty insulting.
