Pros
Since coming aboard, everyone I've met from my direct team to People Team to indirect team members have been incredibly supportive and curious about me. There has been an ample ramp to get up to speed on the numerous systems and applications D2L utilizes. I've felt comfortable asking questions about my role, responsibilities, and how various things are done at D2L.
I've been tremendously impressed with the general supports in place for new hires, mental and physical health, and various means to connect with someone to understand those supports (Slack, Intranet, Email, Office Hours).
Frankly, I'm excited to start my day each day but also feel good when I log off that I can fully unplug and be myself out of work. That's in large part to my manager and the culture that D2L exhibits.
Cons
- There are a lot of systems to wrap your head around, and it takes time to understand what you need to know versus what is nice to know.
- PTO is limited and accrued over time, and it resets each year. That is the policy for all employees regardless of tenure.
- I likely haven't been here long enough to have other cons or that's just a sign of a positive work environment thus far.
