      Good company, but very hierarchal and political

      Senior director

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - lots of opportunities to move around and try different things - stable and compensation is strong

      Cons

      - in some roles, there is limited work life balance... but int other roles it is great - it is highly politicalized. Opportunities and promotions are not always driven by merit. Good, qualified and hard working people often get overlooked by those who are more connected or just 'talk a good game' - it some roles, visibility and recognition of the work is very lacking - executive are not transparent... say one thing but do something else

      Best workplace!

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      RBC offers its employees all the necessary workspace. The benefits and allowances provided also help with commuting to work, which is located in IOI, and support employment in a shopping mall. They promote a healthy work-life balance which I am very grateful for. They also encourage you to speak up and take charge of your own growth and career path. What matters most is that it doesn’t reflect the typical pressures of Asian work culture. ❤️

      Cons

      If I'm picky, the cons are unfortunately a few people in the company are ruining the culture by bringing in Asian culture. Like “complaining about parking”, because they have to park a bit far (parking is free btw). And generally complaining they can get better benefits at other companies (then leave la). As someone who has worked in local banking, it doesn't get better than what you experience here at RBC.

      Toxic culture and bad politics with a lot of backstabbing

      Director

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation is decent. However, the compensation is un-comparable to tech companies in Toronto.

      Cons

      1. Very political and your peers will backstab you so that they will get high visible projects instead of you. 2. Lacks transparency: Managers do not provide you with clear steps on making you successful so that you get good year-end performance rating. 3. Unfairness and tons of bias from management: Manager will give out good projects and good year-end performance bonus to direct reports that s/he likes. Managers will set up direct report for failure if the manager doesn't like the direct report. 4. Major re-orgs has been happening every 1 - 2 years in past 7 years in Technology org. 5. Low productivity: A project is shared by many roles and many teams, hence discussion is happening forever without moving projects forward. Can't get projects done.
