Pros
The location in south Edmonton is convenient to get to and the surrounding grounds are nice. Not much else! The work is easy
Cons
It all starts with leadership... and oh boy, the leadership from the CEO (in a government org?) along with the entire leadership team are truly incompetent. From my experience they are only looking out for themselves and how much they can get from the government trough. In the merger of the prior 'Alberta Innovates' corporations (e.g. AI Tech Futures, AI Health, etc.) into a single government organization it took them way too long (i.e. years) with very little to show for it; no systems, no processes, etc. But they did come up with a logo!! Plenty of petty in-fighting between the organizations' leaders. Plenty of nepotism in hires and contractors/consultants. The wages appear to be based on arbitrary decisions and not on capacity or results. The benefits are OK, but be mindful of what you are actually be offered and seek consistency with your peers. HR are not very resourceful. Too many government of Alberta employees in organization; and therefore, no concept of a for profit organization. The organization lacks clear direction. Best thing for the place and the tax payers in Alberta would be to kill the beast.
