                    Pros

                    Great pension plan and provides a laid-back atmosphere.

                    Cons

                    UHN is generally out-dated in terms of technology. For example, they still use hardcopies to track vacation and attendance. For non-medical employees, it isvery hard to get promoted and there is very little room for career growth. The patient record and database at UHN is a mess; uses a very out-dated system.

                      Based on your experience, what preceded the job offer email: have you received that relatively fast, or you’ve been waiting in silence? For how long?

                      Underwriter

                      Had an interview today and at the end recruiter asked if I was interviewing with another company I was honest and said yes I currently have an offer already with another company. Should I have said that? Worried it may hurt my chances with the interview process going forward.

                      Many people are getting ghosted during the interview process these days so I started https://ghosts.fyi to track companies that regularly ghost. Let me know if you could see this being helpful during your job search!
