Reviews about "work from home"
Return to all Reviews- 2.0Sept 4, 2010Business AnalystFormer EmployeeToronto, ON
Pros
- Great work/life balance - Very friendly management - Low stress environment - Management care about employee happiness - Employee satisfaction surveys regularly - Internal facebook type community / portal -> very cool - Recent high emphasis on creating brand recognition in market
Cons
- Pay way below industry standards - Extremely political! Favoritism is rampant and seems be the only way to move up for most - Management spy on employees by asking favored employees to look over your shoulder (I was asked to spy on others activities while I felt someone watching me - they would rather get 2nd hand info than confront you) - Management spy on your Lotus notes calendar events and check when you're online on communicator (mgmt themselves work from home whenever they please) - No coffee/tea in kitchens! Pay for own meal at team events and lunches ('very' cheap organization even when profits are high) - Time and time again people are 'thrown in front of the bus' by management and then scapegoated when things don't seem to work - someone on team gets fired/quits every month it seems - Culture of incompetence - industry best practices? let's hire 'seasoned' contractors and temps that know what they are doing! - Very slow promotions process - Top performers promoted after over TWO years! Felt sorry for them. - Technology outdated - HEAVY reliance on email and lotus notes databases. IT folks - this is a company to AVOID unless you plan on becoming useless!
