Pros

Close to buses Mostly nice staff

Cons

1. Bad Management - lack of awareness 2. No training - As a System Analyst out of school they should have had more one on one and coaching vs. berating and scolding 3. No room for advancement - I left knowing that I would never advance as a SA. 4. Not paid for overtime. You will work weekends on upgrades and they will shortchange you. 5. No work-life balance. They talk a lot about caring and family team but it is not true. They will make sure you burn out. 6. They have a few staff that are favorites and most are not. 7. High turnover - Barely anyone makes it to a year anniversary. 8. No Benefits - They give you a health spending account with 1500 - 2000 a year. That is it. No pension, nothing else. 9. Bad communication - different managers will tell you to do different things. 10. They pretend to care Advice to potential new hires. Do not take the job unless you need money. If you do take the job at attain keep looking for a new one. You will know what I mean after a day or so. You will understand after a few days.

Pros

There are some employees who are genuine and great to work with. It's downtown and close to the train and there are lots of options for lunch - I had many friends who worked downtown and it was nice to be able to see them during lunch breaks. They were understanding about appointments and stuff and if you had a commitment it wasn't a problem.

Cons

There is nowhere to move up in the company. I asked during my time there to move into another area of the company and expand my expertise and they acted open to it but nothing ever came of it; others had tried with the same outcome as well. There is no structure, no management. There are workers and partners and that's all. The Vancouver office workers are treated far better than the Edmonton employees. During my interview I was told there were bonuses and raises and I received none in the time I was there (over a year). They really just expected more out of me without giving anything back. There are also "favourite" employees for sure like the other review said. I saw one of the BAs who worked there do a better job than one of the favourites but because she didn't know the partners from the IBM days she knew she'd never move up. They pay people straight out of university more than experienced employees - all of the management are asian so you have a better chance of this if you are too. There is no policy for employees but there's no equality either. Management operates under the premise that they can make decisions without transparency or reason and change their mind whenever they want.

Pros

Downtown location, some nice co-workers, close to train station, can get hired with no experience

Cons

Horrible management, sever favouritism of some staff members- everyone else is treated badly, no raises, no performance reviews, perks of being with the company taken away over time
