Pros

Was a great place to work with minimal politics, a relatively flat hierarchy, and each employee had a certain degree of autonomy. Great group of really pleasant frontline employees. A lot of room to learn. CEO has great leadership qualities, and tries his best to get to know every employee.

Cons

5 of some of your best frontline employees in Vancouver have left in rapid succession. It is worth investigating why this is before more of your top talent leave and the company implodes. There are more managers than there are frontline employees. Many of your managers do not even do any work and are creating toxic work environments. Risk Analytics department in particular is being headed by a very incompetent, conceited, and unprofessional individual who plays one employee against another, and using slack as a means to talk behind other people's backs. He is creating a huge mess in the BI infrastructure and blaming his direct reports for said mess. He is texting people at 11 PM and almost forcing people into working on weekends. He would rather hire an incompetent individual who goes around bothering other employees like a pest than promote from within.

Pros

The future looked bright until Aug 26. It was going to be a record setting year on all fronts!

On Aug 26 nearly 40% of the Progressa team got laid off with basic severance packages.
