Pros

Some of the perks were nice

Cons

I would give ZERO stars if I could! Terrible company! Don't be fooled by the high scores on this website. These are only a few things that I saw in my short tenure: - Life & well-being does not matter at all - Failing systems, unsafe work environment in all sites (when will the Canadian government step in?) - Management is a joke. Supervisors are wildly held unaccountable for mismanaging workers. - The top HR person treated people so poorly and was only interested in the budget. I heard this lady say "too many people at this site! Get rid of 20 in the next fiscal" (I was dismayed by her insensitivity) - Culture of fear in most departments.. you can't challenge any decision - Positions and bonuses are given based on popularity and nothing else. Many Brazilian employees quit their jobs in Rio (head office), come to Canada where a friend is already working, and are re-hired as a local employee. But they are not locals! They are taking jobs from qualified Canadians! - Backstabbing and blaming are completely normal, validated by incompetent managers - Policies and rules don't make sense because they're dictated from Brazil - Work processes are highly bureaucratic and cumbersome - Unethical overall.... Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!!
