Pros

The company does great work in the field of rare bleeding disorders so you can feel part of a greater positive organization. The office spaces are modern and of high quality.

Cons

- The Canadian office is run by one person, who in my experience seems to showcase narcissistic and egotistical behavior. During the interview process, he kept belittling previous employees and even mentioned how most of the office quit en-masse just a few months before, this should have been a red flag for me but unfortunately, I overlooked it. - There is no HR and no real corporate structure in the company. The general manager holds the position of HR which is very unprofessional and can lead to biases in the way the business is run. Overall day-to-day activities have very little cohesion and one has to expect the GM to have woken up on the right side of the bed in hopes that he won't belittle or talk down on you because he feels like it. - There is no real training; you are expected to meet the unrealistic expectations of the GM on your own, for the most part. He expects you to read his mind, and when things don't go the way he expects them at the time he expects them, the employee will be belittled as a result.

Toxic work culture terrible management

Pros

Competitive salary , convenient location steps away from Union Station

Cons

Toxic work culture , non management employees are overworked with 0 recognition and 0 work life balance. Favoritism ,intimidation, unethical request, human rights violation,egotistic behavior is common practice. There is no real HR so people have no voice. An anonymous survey ( namely only) is sent out by management but you get reprimanded for survey response. Culture is highly punitive for skilled pragmatic and people with good work ethics. Run by a dictator and narcissist with no empathy.
