Pros
Some talented and supportive colleagues, especially in international teams.
Cons
• Local leadership in Canada demonstrates a low level of professionalism and managerial culture.
• There is no strategic planning—tasks are assigned chaotically, without clear goals or deadlines.
• Feedback is inconsistent and often aggressive; constructive dialogue with management is nearly impossible.
• Roles and responsibilities are not clearly defined. Employees are frequently expected to take on tasks outside their expertise without proper access or support.
• Many decisions are made without consulting the team, and accountability is often shifted onto executors.
• There is a lack of transparency in processes and communication between international offices.
• Initiative is not encouraged—even when it leads to improvements, it’s often perceived as criticism.
• A constant “firefighting” culture: working under stress due to poor organization is the norm.
• Poor work-life balance—there’s an unspoken expectation that employees will “figure things out” and work overtime without recognition.
• Unequal distribution of resources and system access, which prevents some employees from doing their jobs effectively.
• High turnover—many strong professionals leave the company.
