Canadian Institute for Health Information Reviews

Pros

Cons

Upward mobility can be stagnant

Pros

-Great learning - good work life culture

Cons

- Low benefits - Not great retention

Pros

Good working people Good benefit package Work life balance if you don't have a horrible manager that expects you to work for free.

Cons

Management team favor hard workers but excellent . Very political world. Promotion, raise and bonus are predetermined, and not based on your performance

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

Cons

- limited opportunity for growth in a project management role

Pros

Great people and good environment

Cons

Lack of vision from management

Pros

great working environment, good teams

Cons

salary lower than other companies

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.

Pros

Flexible work hours, friendly staff and compassionate management, good benefits, sick days and vacation.

Cons

Salaries are good but could be more towards industry standards
