Pros
- Huge global clients and project opportunities - Free toys and food - Amazing downtown location - 3 weeks vacation and great benefits/coverage - You'll get to work with some really amazing people - Toronto recruiters know how nuts this place is, so you'll be getting messaged on LinkedIn forever
Cons
- Internal disorganization like you've never seen in your life - Your job description WILL change upon arrival - The ridiculous HOURS. Forget about a work-life balance. Evenings and weekends will consume you with work. - Random budget cuts and layoffs that don't make sense amidst crazy hiring of people at the bottom (who HR knows will inevitably burn out) - Too much work to do and never enough people to do it. Teams are LEAN and when someone on your team eventually quits, you're stuck doing their work too! - Political popularity contest and nepotism: plenty of brown nosers getting internally promoted and then not being properly taught how to manage - You'll be constantly stressed and worried if your job is safe, needing to "defend" your job to higher ups
