Pros

CEO is driven, no Manulife history or baggage, comes from faster pace banking environment. Fast mover with a vision and if it goes right, will be an exciting place to work

Cons

Existing management, especially those who have been with Manulife for years. They are not very good at leading staff. Regional office engagement scores in Siem teams are the lowest seen anywhere at any time (think single digits to low double digit scores). Lower pay.

Pros

Great benefits and nice communication across different teams. Access to perks of a large company (HR support, benefits, PTO). Very established firm in the marketplace.

Cons

Slightly below market salaries and little room to negotiate upward, unless you change job titles. Some managers and execs can be set in their ways or choose the de-risked option, even if there are better or more efficient ways of doing things.
