Pros

Compensation is decent. However, the compensation is un-comparable to tech companies in Toronto.

Cons

1. Very political and your peers will backstab you so that they will get high visible projects instead of you. 2. Lacks transparency: Managers do not provide you with clear steps on making you successful so that you get good year-end performance rating. 3. Unfairness and tons of bias from management: Manager will give out good projects and good year-end performance bonus to direct reports that s/he likes. Managers will set up direct report for failure if the manager doesn't like the direct report. 4. Major re-orgs has been happening every 1 - 2 years in past 7 years in Technology org. 5. Low productivity: A project is shared by many roles and many teams, hence discussion is happening forever without moving projects forward. Can't get projects done.

Pros

Riverside around WTC is pretty nice

Cons

OMG the worst company I've ever been. There are a lot of small groups inside the department, and most of them are mean and rude.
