We appreciate your feedback regarding the salary at our company. We value your input and hope that you have addressed this concern with your supervisor or HR.
They advocate a balanced worklife, they accept telecommuting, encourage you to grow professionally by providing/paying for training. Bonus: the christmas party is always sick!
Cons
Social interactions between employees can be a bit lacking, the company could benefit from encouraging birthday parties, 5@7, sports teams, teambuilding, etc.
- Good benefits such as RRSP with 5% contribution matching from the employer.
- Salary started way under the current market but an external pay equity analysis was made to improve it (better recognition of experience and education)
- Great diversity and inclusion policies
Cons
- Not many career development opportunities
- Management difficulties following departure of previous manager, little to no feedback nor clear direction toward goals expected from individuals to achieve bigger picture organization goals.
- Inadequate recognition for the work of microbiology analyst working in extraordinarily restrictive conditions in the context of aseptic environment relatively to other coworkers in the same environment and in contrast with other microbiology analyst not tasked with working in such conditions.
