Terrible PTO policy

Pros

I have a great team and have really impactful work. I also think work/life balance is decent - not supposed to work over 40 hours (it still happens sometime).

Cons

The company has a terrible PTO policy, depending on your rank. There are no sick days, so you need to use your vacation days for sick time (and there is not that much PTO). Even the "unlimited" vacation is not that generous. It is a very large company and a lot of the tech/systems can be annoying and take a long time to get through. It probably depends on group, but promotion system is pretty opaque.

Pros

When I’ve spoken to technical people they’re mostly all lovely, just severely over worked and can’t support you on bids so you’re left by yourself panicking

Cons

Professional review process is none existent, and the meetings are set up as a tick box exercise. No progression path clearly defined, while expecting staff to work at the level above with no remuneration (while saying they’re not ready for the promotion). When concerns are raised to senior management these are either brushed away and ignored, or you are told you could have done more (when this isn’t possible. Lack of motivation and passion across the board due to how management treat staff. A whole systematic change is needed to improve day to day roles of employees. Blame culture is rife. Induction is none existent.

Pros

Employees can work whatever schedule fits their lives. Employees can charge a lot more hours than they actually work.

Cons

The recruiter (Grace Kennedy) that called me about this position told me there were a lot of opportunities for advancement. She also said I would get a raise if I was hired on full time by the company once the contract ran out. Neither of those ever happened. I don't know the full dynamics about what recruiters get for filling positions but it seemed that she was okay with lying to me to get me to take this position because it benefited her somehow. There isn't enough work to be done to justify 40 hours most weeks. Most employees charge a lot more hours than they actually work and that is not only allowed, it seems to be encouraged by the shoddy management at this place.
