Pros

office culture: OK – depends on your team. can be great, can turn sour easily with office politics and poor senior and middle management. benefits: great. above average. no complaints there. main reason to stay. promotions: willing to give them at a cost.

Cons

little to no work-life-balance working hard and excelling at your profession unfortunately isn't enough to get a raise/bonus/promotion – mostly about who you know and office politics. compensation is above average when hired, however if promoted within the company compensation is not within industry standards. performance reviews are supposedly tied to compensation/promotion, however they rarely reflect this. no job descriptions given to employees, no transparency to salary ranges within your pay scale. under-staffed, under-paid, expected to work longer hours and pull in massive overtime with little to no reward. extremely high turn over and frequent lay-offs.

Pros

Very competent colleagues and middle management. Lots of changes constantly offer new fields of engagement. Possibility to get in touch with colleagues around the globe.

Cons

Lots of changes can cause disorientation. If you do not feel comfortable dealing with changing directions and volatile teams stretched over the continents you may better re-consider.

Pros

Canadian company with a sound value proposition and valuable partner of SAP.

Cons

Constant change. A culture of fear. No focus on account management and development, only on pipeline and results. new leadership with a focus on growth through acquisition versus managing existing clients and growing organically.
