Pros
* Awesome colleagues, friendly and supportive from day 1
* Inspiring management; all of them felt like role models and mentors
* Really lovely and appreciative clients - even the non-Canadians ;):)
* Good (up to market) salary, benefits & annual bonus
* Support for personal growth (quarterly reviews incl. promotion chat, participation in industry events and CPD, access to online and offline consulting services). Detail: In just two short years, I got the opportunity of working closely with my colleagues in different roles in the company, and thus had a better idea of what I'd like to explore further when asked during the annual review; I loved that flexibility that was based on my skills and wants.
Cons
* It felt a bit lonely at times because I was the only one full-time at the company's Toronto office. Both management and colleagues did their best to support me though.
* The hybrid model was challenging sometimes, as my commute was long and Canadian winters can be harsh. Again though, whenever there was a need to WFH for an extended period, management was always supportive
