Pros

Salary is a little better but that is it.

Cons

1. They are running a sweatshop at their Mississauga office. 2. It has a very bad crowd. People, they talk all the time, they don't even care that they are disturbing other people. 3. You don't have a preassigned desk, you have to find an empty desk. You also have to clear your desk after work. 4. Every desk has a VDI and you are supposed to connect to your remote machine with the help of VDI. Everything is very slow, and the machine hangs all the time. Even you cannot connect your headphones to the VDIs. 5. A lot of people do support work and get over 300 emails every day (not exaggerating), bad place to learn anything technical, just remember it is a bank. 6. You are expected to work over 10 hours every day. 7. They don't have coffee machines, unlike most companies. 8. Dirty restrooms, you will feel as if you are in a public restroom.

Pros

Benefits and time off are definitely a plus, very accommodating.

Cons

Great working environment, but you need to be co cern every year when cuts hit. They rate you average if they plan on cutting you and it seems like the cuts are based higher on the older employees that have many years with the company. Growth was non existing, every year it was senior managers are not allowing any promotions even to 2 rating employees for many years.
