Pros

Historically, there has been a great deal of room for growth, particularly for those starting on the support team and graduating to other internal positions. Career development had always been encouraged, and the core value of "helping Canadians become financially successful and secure" is relatable.

Cons

There seems to have been some sort of coup at the C-level (this is just conjecture; I am not privvy to the details), causing a pivot away from core values and towards min-maxing profitability at the expense of the workforce. Massive layoffs without adequate justification—including the layoffs many cornerstones of the Questrade internal work culture—has obliterated employee morale and called into doubt the company's focus on the wellbeing and advancement of employees moving forward. Questrade has always been on the lower end of the fintech industry for compensation, but has made up for it by genuinely caring for their employees and pursuing a noble overall goal. That kool-aid has now gone rancid, and many employees who had been anchored here by value claims are now looking elsewhere.

Pros

Armenian Office people are great and in general there is a friendly atmosphere and conditions. Lots of attention to employees from Armenian management

Cons

I can not say anything positive from Management team from Canada. Although I can say lots of negative, but I will refrain from it.
