Pros

Benefits Salary Office location Go perks

Cons

Political and toxic work culture Very poor leadership across many divisions at the senior levels make it hard for anyone to deliver work. Delays and in getting any program launched. Those are close to senior leaders get opportunities to grow , over others who are more qualified and suited for the role.

Pros

Amazing place to work if you like having the freedom to tinker with data and find interesting solutions. There are so many really smart people working there who you can bounce ideas off of. Many teams doing lots of cool things so no shortage of internal opportunities.

Cons

The higher up the leadership chain you go, the more politicized the environment. Senior leadership seem to spend too much time trying to fend off pressure from the government, which takes away time from focusing on management and operations.

Pros

Colleagues are nice The benefits are ok

Cons

The company is forcing employees to go back yo the office at least 2 days a week even for IT department. Extremely high turnover. Favoritism at its highest level. The management is very narrow-minded to see how many employees are quitting their jobs at Metrolinx because they are so productive working from home while there some employees that are even living in other provinces and working fully remote and no rules are applied to them!!
