Pros

Flexible working hours allow for a good work-life balance. Supportive manager who trusts the team and avoids micromanagement. FTO (Flexible Time Off) policy is easy to use.

Cons

Merit increases are minimal, which can be discouraging. Responsible for leading multiple studies, resulting in a consistently heavy workload. Limited career advancement opportunities; promotions are rare. Work is repetitive with little chance to learn new skills or explore new areas.

Pros

- They’re very good at pretending to listen to your issues - “Unlimited” time off

Cons

- Workload in some FSPs - Travel stipend hasn’t changed in years for food or hotel leading you to subsidize the company’s travel or stay at a Motel5 and eat McDonalds - Management is hands off - Promotions come late and raises are comical (2%). No bonuses here! Inflation? Employees can eat the increases while we charge crazy rates to our customers. - They’re actively reducing benefits for employees (no CRA stipend, gym reimbursement, health insurance, we have to pay for labs) - IT department is outsourced and only sometimes competent - Don’t forget the layoffs!
