Pros

Work life balance Mostly good managers Pension plan

Cons

Pathetic support teams in Canadian IT org- namely new API platform team, event hub team, devops team. You are always at their mercy. They are bringing down Sunlife culture. These teams are making a toxic work environment and managers and leaders act deaf on issues on these teams. The support teams are fragile and they don't care about organization success. They only care about their personal glory and they will literally yell at you if you ask any questions. Now a days it's becoming extremely hard to work with these pathetic people. They force to use their crappy products and never listen to feedback or issues. They think they are masters and other working teams as idiots and slaves. Sunlife will be a wonderful company to work with if you get rid of these soo called API support teams. They do more damange than any good.

Pros

Sun Life provides competitive benefits, remote work opportunities, and the chance to work alongside knowledgeable professionals. The company offers strong learning opportunities within the disability and leave management space.

Cons

Staffing reductions and increasing workloads have made it difficult for some teams to maintain service levels while preserving employee well-being. Leadership communication and support can vary by department.
