Pros

Full pension salary. Good colleague connections. Healthcare. Great share scheme.

Cons

Promotions are based on a mix of 'competency framework' and actively working the role you want for a year. But there is zero guarantee that you'll be rewarded after the fact.

Pros

- There's a pension - They have a company gym

Cons

- Low pay - Extreme nepotism - They dangle the carrot of a promotion in front of you for years before MAYBE offering you a whooping 5% promotion - Ice cream parties (insult to injury) - Everything is a secret - Management are some of the finest sycophants

Pros

Good pension. Free downtown parking and gym.

Cons

Toxic culture from top down rewarding bad behavior. Promoting people because of their last name. Firing people over personal opinions. Advocating for change is a waste of energy this company is not interested in fixing itself.
