Pros

Competitive pay. New and up to date tech. Walkable distance to subway and GO Station.

Cons

Too much micromanaging. Management plays favourites. Those people get away with almost anything, do little to no work and take all of the credit and management knowingly does nothing about it. Super tight deadlines and blackout periods when you cannot take time off.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
