Pros

No one has any idea what they are doing so you can put out the barest minimal effort and still look amazing. If you are terrible at your job you will probably be on track to be a C level in no time. You can definitely fail upwards super easily at this company. Our Global IT lead had multiple data breaches during my time at Colliers and managed to get promoted constantly, even during the pandemic. Also you won't have to do any real work because they have unlimited money to contract it all out to other companies.

Cons

If there is a recession you can expect Colliers to protect their share price more than you. They will furlough you without hesitation. They will stop 401k matching. They will go 2 years without merit increases or market rate adjustment. You will get paid less than you are worth as a developer and corporate will justify it by saying that development doesn't actually generate revenue. They will promise things are going to get better and dangle promotions over your head for months. Don't fall for it. If you leave without taking all your PTO you will not be paid out any of it. Don't bother with a 2 weeks notice just take all your PTO and leave.
