Vantaggi
-Other Venture Managers are bright and driven -Exposure to a wealth of startups in your domain -Used to have a great culture -Networking opportunities with investors/industry -Decent work/life balance other than overtime during Session weeks
Svantaggi
-Addition of Lydia Turkié as a remote Managing Director has destroyed this site due to complete incompetence, leading to mass layoffs and gutted morale. Failed to fundraise, never present, total opaqueness of management decisions, not receptive to any feedback, refuses to support social events because they're remote (everyone else is in Toronto). -Too many middle-managers -Ties to Rotman make promotion and organizational flexibility very low -Salaries are low in comparison even to other CDL sites -It's even worse knowing the organization had great culture and much better management in the past, and that current mismanagement is being rewarded
