- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
I enjoyed it very much
Cons
Sometimes it was really hard
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- decente pay, union environment has good job security (not perfect, layoffs of infrastructure teams a few years ago and recent layoffs of business teams) - company gave great benefits while in office (food, events, etc) - some great individuals working there - pretty good work life balance
Cons
- little support for remote work, forcing people back into the office during a pandemic just to justify rent costs - poor culture shift over the last few years with new CEO and move towards agile - poor/outdated engineering practices - lot of dead weight just hanging around because of seniority (unionized devs)
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
The organization is continually improving processes and has invested in technology.
Cons
New CEO and several new C-Suite seem less charismatic and less trusting of their direct reports. Everything seems to take longer when people are not being trusted to make the right decisions. Opposite of agile.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- Very good pay and benefits - Lots of learning opportunities for new comers interested to learn and grow in buy side investment management. The brand still carries value. - Company people and culture is very focused on preserving external reputation, which is very good for diversity, equity and inclusion
Cons
- Very top heavy, too many MDs doing too little and making too much money. We need more doers not order givers. - OTPP used to be a leader in innovation in investments and pension, however, new management is more of a follower than innovators. In certain cases making investment decision which only serve their own personal financial gain rather than meeting long term return objective for pensioners. - A lot of senior management in investments are only there not because of their investment performance but because they have stuck to this firm for long. This creates deficiency in skill sets for them which in turn trickle down to what kind of caliber/skill is expected from junior employees. This hampers growth for junior employees. - These days it seems the firm is very PR focused rather than trying to solve the internal cultural issues caused by mismanagement through lay offs and miscommunication.
