Not much growth/Good work-life balance/Minimum team culture
Senior Analyst, Finance Analytics and Risk (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 20 January 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedIf you end up in the operation department, your chance of growth is pretty limited. Job content does not require you to advance your technical skills/fundamental knowledge. Management does not favor those who progress into certificates/higher education (since job does not require those knowledge). Slim to none team culture. I won't even expect people to say hi if they run into each other outside work. Good work-life balance. You can log off at 5.
Pros
work-life balance
Cons
no growth and team culture

you work in global teams, learn something new every day
Manager (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 22 June 2022
I have found the learning that i have gotten here to be so valuable, and people are always willing to spend the time to explain things. You get to work on global projects and get exposed to a level of complexity that makes the work interesting. It does mean there are some team calls outside work hours, but you can flex your time if necessary.
Pros
Scale of the global platform and interesting work. People are nice
Cons
can be intense so make sure you are up for that but if you love what you do, you will love doing it here

Insights into CPP Investments
What people like
- Fair pay for job
Areas for improvement
- Feeling of personal appreciation
- Inclusive work environment
- Trust in colleagues
Not as inclusive as they say
Manager (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 4 January 2021
The work culture is old fashion and punitive. Depending on your role there is a huge concern of being de-skilled. Pay and benefits are generous and bonus is quite good. However, if you leave the company you might not be as competitive with your peers in the job market. The work culture is not as diverse and inclusive as they like and they do not crack down on inappropriate behaviour.
Pros
Generous benefits and above industry pay
Cons
Senior managers and above get away with inappropriate behaviour, company org structure is disproportionate including mostly senior people

Silo teams
Quantitative Analyst - Public Markets Investment Risk (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 23 October 2020
No interaction between teams. Bureaucratic. Takes long time to get approvals. Business stakeholders don't respect technology teams . Most teams have a database under their desk in their own systems
Pros
brand name
Cons
slow pace

New CTO has not clue what she is doing
Sr. Developer (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 30 March 2020
Worst CTO ever met, start multiple projects in not just different but contrary directions.
Dictate what she wants and barely hear what other senior staff said.
Bring her buddy in, kick out good people, bring her consultant firm in, kick out existing excellent vendor.

Jobs at CPP Investments
Very Stressful Environment
Senior Business Specialist (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 12 February 2020
This company has a weird culture. The manager who hired me was excellent. After another manager took over our team, the culture was completely changed - very stressful.

A high performing, collaberative organization with the highest integrity.
Director - Finance (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 December 2019
It was an honour and privilege to have had the opportunity to work at the CPPIB. It is first class organization that cares about employees and a place where what you do and how you perform matters to every Canadian.

A very Political and toxic workplace
Business Intelligence Developer (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 8 July 2019
Lot of hierarchy, people concentrate more on playing politics than doing work. Bunch of incapable employees who are taking home a lot of money and doing no work. Non deserving people holding management roles with no vision or focus.

Great salary, toxic envirinment.
Analyst, Corporate Governance and Legal (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 27 May 2019
There is a favouritism to employees who have been there from the beginning, warranted or not. And these employee's arrogance and high handed treatment of other staff is unparalleled. If an employee reports this treatment or objects to it, you soon find your position eliminated due to "reorganization", a favourite catch phrase of the CPPIB. This was the worst experience of my career.
Pros
Salary
Cons
Favourtism to long standing employees, whether warranted or not.

Working with time sensitive goals
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 27 December 2018
The most enjoyable part of the job is working with your co-workers, learning and leveraging their strengths to achieve goals.
The hardest part of the job is the occasional long hours needed to meet tight deadlines.
Overall, a good learning experience for traditional corporate office operations but lacks innovation and open-mindedness due hierarchical structure that often block or limit communication channels and minimal skills in change management during rapid growth spurts.
Pros
Good learning experience
Cons
Egocentric Leaders and Management, High Micromanagement
