      Pros

      Clients is all that is good

      Cons

      Managers are allowed to bully , harass, belittle and treat employees like they were children. There is no concern for work life balance if you confront the conflict you are threatened with losing your job. If you go to HR your life is made miserable to force you to quit. They play games to try to get long term. Employees to quit. Approving holidays then declining then declining new request. Calling names in front of client. Touching employee and humiliating them

      Digital Factory - big science experiment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay. Top notch employees that are a pleasure to work with. Fabulous physical space.

      Cons

      Aggressive culture focused on results with little empathy towards employees thrown into an environment of constant ongoing change where upper management has no prior experience in leading a digital transformation. Lot's of pressure to deliver without real support from upper management in removing impediments. High pressure, political atmosphere with little recognition of employee achievements. No growth opportunities with the pretend flat hierarchy. Fake agile, no vision, bad communication, lot's of tension. Scotiabank benefits are mediocre.

      Pros

      - working with some folks that care (in Canada) - being able to bounce ideas off colleagues in Canada - massive responsibilities - a paycheck

      Cons

      - upper management not open to critique or ideas for enhancement - upper management blames its own employees for its failures - constant reorganizations and laying off of employees (no transparency and no explanations from management) - technology needs improvement - employee morale low (due to job uncertainty) - responsibilities significantly broadened - far beyond what I signed on to (and yet no extra compensation) - favortism - hours and expectation to work weekends - backlash for asking questions and being thorough -contract employees are extremely important and not treated as members of the team
