Pros
I’ve been very lucky to work in Guelph because there are still leaders there who truly care but I know that’s rare in this company. They bring in birthday cakes and sign happy birthday, ask you about your life, play games at lunch, celebrate peoples accomplishments, and make work feel human. The leaders who actually take the time to come to Guelph (very few) are great. Although don’t expect anyone above an L2 to be seen there unless someone gets terminated. I’ve also been going through a life transition this past year, and my leader and HR have gone above and beyond for me, even when I probably wasn’t the easiest employee to manage. I walked into HR with nothing more than a rant, but they got me time off to deal with personal issues and listened to my story with a compassionate smile and kindness. It still feel appreciative thinking about it.
Cons
The workload can be very heavy, and it often feels like sites outside of London are forgotten about. I do feel a recent shift in the culture. At times some of the high leaders come across as snobby.
