Pros

None at this point. Reviews talking about 401k and pensions are USA based. In Canada, their offerings are standard at best.

Cons

"Future of Work" was an often mentioned phrase to increase the work/life balance of all employees. As Covid happened we all began to work remotely - as it turns out, the best years this company has ever experienced in terms of profitability. Coming out of this, they did an employee survey to help determine how the employees wished to return to the office, or otherwise work. They never did actually release the results of this survey (despite promises to do so). And as of Nov. 6th, 2023, have forced almost the entire workforce back into the office full time. When asked if the employee survey backed up this decision, management stated "they didn't know the results" but also "results varied". Seems contradictory. Malcom the CEO is quoted as saying if employees don't want to be in the office, they aren't the right fit for this company, and he has no problem hiring new people. Although he might have a problem when the new people quit as well. Zero honestly. Zero respect for employees. Zero concern over any happiness or wellbeing issues for employees. If you want a company that is moving backwards, this is the one for you.

Pros

* Pay and benefits * Industry best technical and engineering foundation

Cons

Miserable, toxic, regimented place to work. In recent years trended this direction. Now it is much worse. Corporate office recently changed job responsibilities for Account Managers and Underwriters in a project called "RACI". The result is lopsided heavy workload dumped on underwriters understaffed with qualified people. Underwriters are being set up to fail unless willing to work 60-80 hours per week and make one's personal life secondary to all else. AM's are being turned into "Account Executives" and will lose most underwriting skills. Underwriters now have a dead-end career path. There are numerous co-workers with huge egos that jockey for position and favor. They love to hear themselves talk in meetings. Since promotions are based on favortism and nepotism who can blame them. Management keeps a matrix of all employees and their potential for advancement. If you are in the wrong square on the matrix you are stigmatized.
