Pros
- Nice office facilities - Fun events - 13th cheque for higher performers - Challenging work and interesting projects - Unlimited PTO
Cons
- Prone to layoffs, happened once before I left for an entire function and then again 2 years later across the company - Culture has seemingly changed to an impression of profit first, people second - Most recent layoffs weren't well handled with short notice given to employees and a blanket last in, first out approach taken, which ignored any factors like competency, performance, or level of value of the employee. - Too much capital is invested in office facilities with the expectation that employees must use them the majority of the time, which is counter-intuitive given the recent pandemic and remote working. - Matrix structure is very complicated, making it difficult to get approval for new initiatives or decisions - Rigid structure makes it difficult for upward movement with many employees staying in the same position for lengthy periods or making only lateral moves
