Typical day at work could mean various things: preparing board events (contacting hotels, venues,etc to get the best price and put together the agenda for the board), travel for the team from cars, flights, trains, etc overseas and domestic, expense reports, invoices,  internal department meetings, confidential signature documents. 

I've learned to work with different personalities types that are executive level (Managing Director to helping out the analysts) 

I enjoy my co-workers as this particular team is very fun, equal and respect that I work hard. 
The hardest part of the job was working with only 1 other person to support 30 people (we were looking for another admin to help out)and this lasted almost a year. The resources were not enough and we were burn out. There isn't any room for growth at the company in administration and I am looking for that stepping stone in my career and to be somewhere where my skills/years of expertise are truly valued. 

The most enjoyable part of my job is seeing my team that I support happy and find their days to be as smooth as possible because of the support I have provided.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I do not have an answer to this question

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If you need help, good luck, your on your own!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Isolating, there was no culture. I worked there for 2 years and barely met anyone outside my direct team, which felt like they went out of their way to avoid chatting as much as possible.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Worst implementation of agile I’ve seen.
Morning standups. And sometimes planning sessions.. Retrospectives were deemed not useful.. 
Constantly putting out fires

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.

I found that as the organization grew, it lost a lot of what made it a good place to work at one time.  It became a very competitive environment where most people were out for themselves in order to move up the corporate ladder. This included keeping information to themselves instead of sharing it with colleagues whose jobs would be made much easier by having that information. It was also very political, a bit chaotic. Prior to covid, they were not a remote friendly company so it will be interesting to see what will happen after covid. They do pay well and offer an excellent benefits package.

It is hard to make changes in some departments and largely due to the mid management's attitude that disapprove improvements and avoid risk. The culture doesn't encourage people to transfer internally, again due to mid management and HR policy. 

People are very well educated and professional. I generally appreciate the intelligence of the working environment. Attitude is not as open-minded and leading as one would imagine given the company's great reputation in the industry.

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.

If 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.

The organization has great resources to work with and they hire extremely top talent. The only issue is there is a clear favoritism to people with no ethnically backgrounds. 

They have worked pretty hard to have great policies and compensation but there is a lot work to be done in shaping a culture that promotes a healthier environment for work.

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.
