Pros

Great benefits Work life balance (working from home) Pleasant employees

Cons

Nepotism - Directors and Managers are hired not based on qualification/credentials but rather on friendship. Ignorance - the upper management lacks common sense let know knowledge in the field they oversee. This leads to poor management of employees and misleading staff with poor directions. HR - Their HR division is nothing short of a disaster. Salary reviews are common at Metrolinx because the HR doesn’t do their research on industry standard when assigning a pay band to a newly created position. Poor management skills - Managers need training in managing staff and conflict resolution. No concept of foresight and employee issues are not addressed in a timely manner resulting in a high turnover rate. This company is incapable of retaining talent. Check their turnover rate.

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!!
