Pros

• people are nice • bi-annual salary reviews • can be a cushy job as most people only put in the bare minimum

Cons

They don't care for their people as much as they say they do. Last year they cut 20% of their workforce – their second round of mass layoffs that year. During the Townhall that followed they announced a mandatory RTO 3 days a week where before it wasn't required. (I have since seen job posting that mention "at least 3 days in office" which means they will be back to 5 days sooner or later.) At my last review I mentioned how more than 1/2 of the things mentioned in the job description had not materialized, and was told I need to be a team player and do what's asked of me regardless. It was clear earlier this year that they are no longer the innovative financial institution they were 10+ years ago; all of their recent offers/promotions are reactionary (read: waiting to see what Wealthsimple does they trying to match it). They are no longer going after high-value investors and are going after low-hanging clients who doesn't know any better. If you're not part of the legacy you will be ignored.

Pros

Armenian Office people are great and in general there is a friendly atmosphere and conditions. Lots of attention to employees from Armenian management

Cons

I can not say anything positive from Management team from Canada. Although I can say lots of negative, but I will refrain from it.
