Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Metrolinx full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Good people overall, good organizational values (on paper), a lot of opportunities (high turnover), diverse and interesting projects, good benefits
Cons
Extremely toxic culture depending where you work in the organization, high attrition rates and turnover, not mature enough to be delivering billions of capital, high expectations with no support, rife with incompetence at leadership levels, project reporting requirements are hugely inefficient (public funds) and governance is even worse (also unclear and undefined), CEO micromanages but that is likely required due to lack of competencies across the board, Phil (CEO) is actually very good, terrible work-life balance

Neutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Metrolinx full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Good base salary (no bonus, ever) Great benefits and pension
Cons
Compensation structure after hiring isn’t great - it’s between 1-5%; if you move up pay grades you’re only eligible for up to 15% increase even if new range is higher. Processes and bureaucracy slows everything down when trying to do anything
