      Pros

      -tons of training courses to take -people are generally nice -compensation -location of the Calgary office -bistro on 34th fl in the Calgary office

      Cons

      -employees are disposable -managers do not know how to grow or develop their employees -decreases employee morale based on favouritism -too much work with no significant purpose or value -no clear vision -HR has no idea what they are doing and do not practice what they preach at all -no place for advancement unless you are considered their 'superstar' (then those people get everything) -too many useless and unproductive meetings that end up draining everybody -too much change that doesn't seem to ever get anywhere positive -high turnover -does not help employees try to reach their potential because everyone is too focused on office politics and trying to climb up the corporate ladder for themselves -will disregard their entry-level employees -too many VP's that do not seem to know how to lead a team, all they have are their egos -management only values 'work horses' who can sit and work, work, work with no voice -not a good place if you want to be in a creative, supportive, entrepreneurial environment -they do not know how to recognize real talent and let go of great people with tons of potential

      Analyst

      I finished final round interview. Should I send a thank you letter to everyone or only to people where I have something interesting to add on. I interviewed with the hiring manager twice already and sent thank you emails. He never responds, should I even bother to send him one more since we talked again in the final round? HR said I wouldn’t hear back until late next week earliest. It sounds like they still have to wrap up final rounds with other people. I don’t want them to forget me.

      Data Engineer

      Got a possible interview coming up with Pepsico as a data engineer in the DFW, TX area. It's more towards an entry-beginner type of role. Anyone know what kind of questions I should be expecting in the technical part of the interview?

      Underwriter

      What level of influence do potential stakeholders have in the decision-making process during a peer interview? For instance, in my upcoming 3rd round interview involving three peers, following successful phone screenings and VP interviews, would a scenario where one peer has a positive impression while the others don't, or vice versa, significantly impact my chances of securing the job?
