Pluspunten

You're best off working as a contractor at RBC for a year or two. The compensation is fairly good, and if you leave your own ambitions and strategic sense aside and just focus on the work they give you - no matter how petty some of it may be - you can enjoy the money for a little while, then move on.

Minpunten

There is a self-congratulatory culture inside Canada's largest bank, repeating statements about the bank's superiority over its competitors while the employee experience is poor. Moreover, RBC is one of the world's top bankers to the fossil fuel industry, pouring billions into oil, gas, and mining every year and violating Indigenous rights. Managers are often insecure, confused and left without proper support. They then leave their reports without support. There is a culture of secrecy, compensation for full-time employees is below the industry average, and bonuses left unpaid for any reason while the bank rakes in billions in profit every quarter. Annual reviews at RBC work like the comments section on a media site: there are often no meaningful touchpoints through the year, but at the end of the year other employees (and sometimes your manager, too, without disclosure) leave anonymous comments on your performance. This has led to a culture of malicious competition among employees, the opposite of "Radical Candor" which it's been advertised as.

Pluspunten

Een stabiele balans tussen werk en privé. De bedrijfscultuur is fantastisch, het is heel prettig om met complexe managementstructuren en managers samen te werken. Ze staan open voor groei en ontwikkeling, ook in de omgang met klanten.

Minpunten

Er is weinig ruimte voor groei, tenzij je met die verwachting binnenkomt. Je kunt heel gemakkelijk in deze rol vast komen te zitten, omdat je salaris langzaam stijgt terwijl je functietitel grotendeels hetzelfde blijft. Promoties en salarisverhogingen voor medewerkers worden zelden toegekend en vereisen veel overredingskracht om ze te krijgen.
