Take a second look! by the way, Insurance group is the worst! - Anonymous employee Export Development Canada Employee Review

Although it looks very professional from outside, it is absolutely not from inside. everything depends on personal relationship, no matter what u do for the business. no clear guidelines, yet millions of vague protocols all over the place Working at EDC depends 90% on who do you know and to what extent they like you. you might be the most efficient at your work, but if you dont have personal relationship with your manager you will move no where. The overall environment is not comfortable, every word you say can affect your career, as the company is full of rats. With people spending half of their life with no promotions at EDC, you will find a lot of hard feelings to any newcomer. Overall, if you are successful in your current job dont think of EDC. if you are unemployed and dont fidn work somewhere else, then go for it (a Senior manager told me that inside EDC after I was employed ! - It is a place for people who didnt find job elsewhere!) Forget about promotions, moving to another departments, going outside to other countries, unless you were hired like that. watch out for the first two months (they call them the honey moon), where they leave you work on your own and feel comfortable to slam hard after. The big theme that this is a professional and ethical place is absolutely not correct. Even HR might be sneaky if the officer is in good terms with the person you are complaining about.
