Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic people to work with ! Make friends every day .... Lots of interesting projects. You are never bored. People work very hard and do what can be done regardless of heavy workloads. ... Remote working

Cons

Because testing projects are often getting re-resourced mid way through, staff is like a revolving door- people are assigned then re- assigned to other projects, always getting new testers that never had a chance to work with similar Financial and corporate applications Long hours are required to manage this situation well not allowing projects to be impacted... you have to leverage strength as much as you can .... been bouncing between 4 to 8 projects which I'm leading and really want it to be right .... .... Hard to advance .....

Pros

Great bunch of people. Friendly atmosphere. Worked there prior to 2012 when they invited figure skaters to visit. Would work in Disability Dept again if I moved back to Edmonton.

Cons

At the time, reno's began so work space was some what tight. Not much else that I recall to comment on really.
