Pros

- an amazing benefits package - salary was not that bad - unexpected perks - great onboarding

Cons

- boring work: no challenges at all (good for people that only want to have a job) - people at my team was not that nice - I asked if I could work remotely outside Canada and they said yes, two days before my trip they pushed that back and I had to spend lots of money worn cancelling, etc.

Thank you for your review and your time as a Software Engineer at AIR MILES. I’m happy to hear that you felt well compensated with us, enjoyed the perks and benefits available to you, and had a positive onboarding experience. I am however sorry to hear you were not challenged by the work given to you. We encourage all Associates to have open and honest conversations with their Leaders about their development in order to ensure everyone feels they have meaningful work to do and a place to grow their career. Our 1-in-90 conversations that take place every 90 days between an Associate and their Leader are meant to address these topics specifically. I hope you had an opportunity to have these conversations with your leader, and explore the various positions we had available before leaving. I am sorry you felt censored by your questions at the company meeting – we try to answer all the questions in the chat, either live at our AIR MILES Business Meetings or as follow-ups on CONNECT. I hope you got the answers you needed. Finally, AIR MILES is now a remote-first work environment, offering as much flexibility to our Associates as possible by allowing them to work anywhere in Canada. We also understand the desire for Associates to visit family and friends outside of Canada and as such, Associates can now work outside of Canada for up to 2 workweeks (10 business days) per year. This decision was based on feedback from our Associates directly, with their mental health, well-being and engagement top of mind. I wish you all the best, Dimitri Benak, VP of People and Culture

Pros

Good benefits Great co-workers Fully remote Lots of fun employee events - got to meet a lot of cool folks at the company through it

Cons

Lots of different roles within the chain of command so different objectives are being passed down Sometimes hard to feel if you're making a difference

Thank you for the positive feedback. Our Associates are at the heart of our strong company culture and are truly what makes AIR MILES such a great place to work! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the benefits and events offered to our Associates, as well as our remote-first working model. We appreciate your perspective on feeling as though your work makes a difference. We strongly believe that our people are our greatest asset and that the work done at all levels of the organization contributes to our success as a business. During our January Business Update, our Executive team shared our Strategic Imperatives for 2023 and the ways we will continue to scale as an organization to help Associates under the "big picture" and where their role fits in. We also recently introduced a new Goal Setting process to better align with our quarterly planning process, and to encourage more regular conversations about goals between Leaders and Associates. For Associates with questions regarding the impact of their role, we encourage you to speak to your leader or Manager Once Removed for guidance. Thanks again for your feedback, and all the best. Dimitri Benak - VP, People and Culture
