Pros
This is a review for the Accounting group located in Toronto, ON, Canada - Challenging work with plenty of new software-related accounting concepts and policies to learn - As FOG is part of a much larger corporation (Constellation Software), ability to move within Constellation and greatly expand career experience
Cons
Non-existent work/life balance -60-80 hr weeks are normal + working weekends and vacations Poor compensation -Basic benefits, basic vacation, no RRSP/RSP matching -Salary is especially terrible considering workload Poor training and resourcing -Little to no training provided -'Sink or swim' attitude - figure out everything on your own -Not enough people/resources provided to cover all the work Toxic workplace -Brown-nosing, blaming, spreading gossip/rumours -Very little collaboration/working together towards improvement Poor management engagement -Management is either ignorant and/or doesn't care about issues above -No attempt to improve workplace conditions Little HR engagement -HR is based in the US and very little engagement with Toronto staff -HR receives all feedback from management - who report that 'everything is fine' despite turnover All of the above results in huge turnover - around 50%
