      Good work/life balance

      Research associate
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable platform due to parent company, so less concerns about being layed off. In research, broad industry coverage and senior analysts are reluctant as they know as long as they do a decent job, they will be compensated well. The associates have little to no room to grow unless in rare cases, analysts are fired, and even then it is unlikely that associate gets promoted. Not the same stress and hours of bulge brackets and is likely what makes people stay around and build longer term careers there (again, referring to more senior analysts).

      Cons

      At the lowest-end of industry compensation. Research associates make $75-85k with ~$20k in bonus.

      Culture changed significantly in the last years

      Senior software developer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Decent retirement and health benefits - You will work with some very talented and knowledgeable ICs - Opportunities for lateral internal movement

      Cons

      - Your experience as a Software Developer / IC entirely depends on your manager - Pre-Covid salaries were very competitive within the Canadian market. Now salaries fall into low-average market range - Push for AI adoption comes from non-technical middle/senior management and lacks proper vision and direction - False sense of stability, I have seen many silent lay-offs happen since the pandemic ended - Lack of growth. If you are early in your career, do not stay here for more than couple years or you are likely to get pigeonholed into working banks

      Great Culture, Needs Better Direction

      Salesforce developer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent work-life balance is genuinely promoted and supported by team leaders. Colleagues are incredibly collaborative, intelligent, and motivated to succeed together. The benefits package is highly competitive, especially the health insurance and retirement match. Flexible hybrid work schedule is a huge perk for managing personal commitments easily. The company provides fantastic resources for ongoing learning and skill development courses.

      Cons

      Technology stack is aging and there's resistance to necessary modern infrastructure updates. Project prioritization changes too often, leading to wasted effort and team frustration. Communication flow from executive leadership down to the individual contributors is weak. Compensation raises have been lagging behind industry standards over the last few years. Internal bureaucracy often slows down decision-making processes significantly across departments.
