Brookfield Asset Management

Let this serve as a warning  I have never had a worse job

Never have I worked for a place before where the following behaviours were considered appropriate and encouraged by management:

making passive aggressive comments about someone’s work right to there face

leaving emails and teams messages purposely on read (happens even more if your less senior)

having to reach out to another team a multitude of teams if basically begging them to provide you with information you need

receiving rude and condescending emails from others in more senior roles then you

people purposely trying to make you feel stupid via questions and comments

people scowling at you in the office

shaming people for sick days and then also giving them dirty looks when they get you sick

Things management can do but you can’t

take time off whenever they want

work from home whenever they want

leave early and show up super late

pass there work off to you with no training

blame there mistakes on you

have big emotional hissy fits

 no one properly knows how to use the software or even understands it so getting anything done in this place is a nightmare

You can ask management questions and they will lie and make something up on the fly as an answer instead of admitting they don’t know and getting back to you when they do

They will purposefully hold back information from you 



What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone is very smart there. They actually have 'aces in places'. the people that they hire, love to learn. the company doesn't respect the knowledge. i assume that's why they burn through talent.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
the stressful part is their goal is to ensure business compliance first, but won't allow their SME's to help them accomplish that using best practice, hired experience....

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's hard for me to answer this , the work environment was... inconsistent as they didn't understand what they needed vs. what they hired me for. The culture, however, is excellence, they believe in learning more, achieving more. their culture is not be the best business only, but be the best self. for that I respect.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
unscripted, there is no typical, as per the 2 previous comment, and should explain why their creative talent, has a short shelf life there.

The company is great. But my specific experience is a horror story.I worked on contract and my manager was rude and treated me as if I was her servant. I was very new, yet highlighted every mistakes, micromanaged and questioned intensely on my mistakes. I bore up with patience and professionalism till I could take it no more. She made me feel so depressed and I lost my self worth working there. Made me feel stupid and useless but I know I am not!! as I had a great work record previously. The toxic environment, lack of work life balance and mutual respect took a toll on my mental and physical health in just 3 months and hence decided to resign in order to keep my sanity.

Sometimes it feels like there is a glass ceiling in place due to favouritism by direct report and a lack of being able to communicate directly with upper management. The job is not remote and offers little work life balance but pays well. You’re challenged, always learning and growing. You work surrounded by highly intelligent people. Workflow is busy and demanding year round. Overtime and skipping lunch breaks often feels compulsory. 

CONS:
- Management is very strict and prefers micro managing
- Working hours are at least 10 hours a day and they do not encourage any flexibility 
- Project managers are very demanding and are rude most of the time. 
- Leadership takes advantage of their power and at times they bully their staff. If you complain to HR than they do nothing about it. 
- Employees have to get use to lots of work pressure to survive 


PROS:
- Good Christmas parties
- Pay rate is slightly above the market

Worst job ever

Management is rude beyond belief even the nice managers 

You will get blamed for mistakes you did not make 

Your not worth respect at all until you reach a certain job title people will be rude to you because you have a low title 

Stressful and disorganized mostly because of management 

Have to play ego games with grown adults otherwise they will have emotional outbursts 

This company needs a complete corp culture rework but they will never do it 

Everyone is a "manager", so no such thing as overtime.

Upper management changes direction often, and there is much turn-over at the Director level out of frustration.

The culture is highly political, and you are expected to shut up and hold the bag in front of the big fan.  You are a commodity, there is _NO_ work/life balance, and "performed as expected" is the highest you can expect to get on a review.

Pretty good benefits though...

Typical day (during quarter end): on the phone with various investment teams; aggregate the performance measures from each investment team in order to prepare for the quarterly reports; review and update case study info for each fund investments, etc
Hardest part of the job: long over time hours
The most enjoyable part: if you want to get experience from a highly professional and reputable company in Canada, this is the place to work for.

Within the time I worked for the company, I experienced the remarkable growth of the organization on a global scale. The talented team at Brookfield are thought leaders, offering a contrarian way of thinking and are respected industry leaders. I was privileged to work with many groups during my time with the company and have the utmost respect for the organization and the people who work there.

Management doesn't communicate well and constantly in a mindset of hurry up and wait, frustrating to be sitting in the office on a Friday night waiting for feedback that they have been sitting on for 2 weeks and now we have to hope we have enough time to actually check final revisions before we release......
