Pros

Pay is below industry and gap increases with seniority Company cares about what's in the headlines so has a lot of positive initiatives around DEI, mental health etc.

Cons

Increasingly capital constrained which limits growth for current junior to mid level employees Employees are treated as cogs in a machine. Management pay varies little with investment performance, so there is little focus on retaining performing talent Very corporate culture which is resistant to change and extremely inflexible Culture in Asia is much worse than Canada HQ

Pros

They are diligent in responsibly investing the pension fund for Canadian citizens.

Cons

The company claims to be progressive, but its roots are inherently as conservative and bureaucratic as it comes, stemming from the government. The hierarchal structure is extremely limiting in terms of being nimble and adaptive. If I want to talk to a director, I need to literally go through my own director first before even contacting them. Everyone is looking over everyone’s shoulder out of fear and a starvation mindset. This is a decent stepping stone if you have the ability to improve yourself, otherwise this is not even close to a higher tier investment firm and the leadership is a reflection of that.
