Pros

Some leaders are understanding and accommodating. Some ability to work from home (2-3 days a week) currently but the CEO was clear that he didn’t care about the benefits to employees working from home and is fixated on bringing staff back into the office, likely full time. I am certain he has other things he should be focusing on.

Cons

There is a culture of fear of the executive leadership team. Inefficiency and confusion are the name of the game. Sooo much wasted time and effort. Lack of decision making or constant changing of direction. Unclear roles and responsibilities. Combined, this results in a terrible, toxic work environment. It’s sad because there is so much potential for Metrolinx to be the most amazing employer. Essentially if you care about your job and giving the taxpayer their moneys worth, this IS NOT the place for you. I am less than a year in and already looking to leave.

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!!
