Worst company culture!! stay away if you want to maintain your sanity
Pros
- Salary is decent. For IT, salary can be considered below average. - Good benefits especially Stock Purchase and Long term bonus if you are eligible for it
Cons
- Poor leadership especially IT and Cybersecurity. CIO is from business and CISO does not have enough leadership experience. Also, no cybersecurity background therefore the program lacks a vision and no one knows where the team is heading. No real learning or program growth can happen. - Growth can only happen if you can lick your boss shoes - No work life balance - Dictatorship culture - Rigid 5 days onsite - No farewells even for employees who have spent decades. Imagine the culture - Water cooler talks are looked down upon. - Working hours are tracked by badge swipe ins and outs - Without qualifying for Long Term Bonus, Salary is below average. Even that LTB is locked in for first three years making you a slave before u can get it. - Everything is urgent. basically there is no priority and things keep coming down from top thereby overloading only few members who deliver in the team. Leadership just adds pressure to those individuals whereas freeloaders enjoy doing nothing. - Lot of politics. Such level that senior leaders dont have cordial relationship amongst themselves. When rumors spread, they will pressurize their teams not to spread rumors rather than fixing the issue. - Plan to layoff Canadian employees after acquiring KCS. Played dirty games like Meta.
