Pros

Great company benefits like share matching, retirement matching, work from home, work/life balance, etc. Culture is also quite good, very nice people and a relatively laid back work environment.

Cons

Very process heavy with legacy ways of doing things. Recently, micromanagement has gotten worse with more emphasis on every metric. TELUS is also a very political and optically driven place where it's more important to look good then necessarily be good.

Pros

Easy job in the most of project. They will not be fired (either grow in the company), even if you have a poor attitude (or the best, is undifferent for managers).

Cons

- Nepotism. - Bad managment. - Nepotism again. - Unneeded burocracy. - Bad salary in comparison with competitors. - Bulgarian people have lower conditions than foreigners. - Nepotism. - Lewd bosses (and opportunist women collegues). - Nepotism. - Bad qualified and arrogant bosses. - Bad organization culture (not serious). Bad employees not fired, even you bad - work affects the rest. - Less of possitive feedback... but unneeded and constant impersonal coaching sessions. - Nepotism. - More nepotism. - Etc., etc.

Pros

1. Overall great company culture 2. Lots of opportunities to learn different lines of business 3. Benefits at TELUS is comparable to Google & Amazon in Canada

Cons

1. There are some good leaders in the company but most are lost, confused, or with a legacy mindset of 1990's 2. There are a lot of politics & bureaucracy; similar to any big companies but not as bad as many Canadian banks 3. There are a lot of opportunities at the working level but very limited growth opportunities to move up the ladder 4. TELUS used to be considered as a high-tech company in the 2000's but exciting high-tech opportunities are very rare within TELUS in recent years
