Pros

You will need to use the employee counselling service they provide

Cons

It never used to be like this, but CIBT’s IT department is a *boiler room*. My senior manager had a limited understanding of the fundamentals of IT. From this place of ignorance, they would bluff, bluster and make stupid decisions. Because of this, they changed their mind often. However, they never made decisions on process or policy (like … um … testing) and never wrote anything down. That way, they were never accountable. Genius move. You are also expected to put long hours and weekends in to make up for their incompetence, flip-flopping and shortcomings. And when you’ve not seen your family for a week and worked 12 hour days to make that deadline in the middle of a crisis, you are rewarded with another crisis, more work and even tighter deadlines. Yey. You have been warned.

Pros

Nice and friendly colleagues and you can be yourself. Work here if you're desperate until you find something else.

Cons

No set career path for advancement, no further training to develop your skills, company is ran like an old boys club, you only get promoted if you're in the gang, the level of education and behaviour of a lot of people is very low. General moral is pretty low, however great some of the staff are, no one is satisfied with their jobs and all plan on moving on. Pay is incredibly low for many... so many colleagues told me how they couldn't even buy food final week of the month, used to be able to work autonomously but after recent acquisition you are micromanaged. Lost touch and industry is dying.
