TELUS reviews

No career advancement or progression is very slow. Must have lots of patience. The amount of work you do is reflective in your pay. Don't get stuck in a bad position. Do your homework before taking on any position. If you just need a job, then make sure you network a lot. People skills are important here. Technical knowledge in engineering/IT positions are VERY valued. If you have technical and people skills, you will advance in due time. Variable pay is good, but is tied too closely to overall company/market performance which is often out of your control. Benefits were not as good as before. Stock options are gone unless your an executive. Engineers are compensated well (moving up), but has been low compared to the market for the past few years. Turn over is still higher than it should be.

An older workforce also brings an older mindset. Innovation from newer team members is sometimes stymied because of old ways of thought. A lot of roadblocks (corporate beaurocracy) in place to bringing an idea to life. Although middle management is a great team, communication up to senior levels is difficult. With a company as large as TELUS, speed to market can lack. Team members are often 'told' and not engaged in developing solutions to issues. Office facilities / work environment can also be terrible, depending on which building you work in.
