For the first time, the job site Indeed released a list of the 25 best places to work in Canada, 14 of which Career Edge has placed an intern at, including every employer in the top five (RBC, Toronto Transit Commission, TELUS, General Motors, and Hospital for Sick Children).
The comprehensive survey conducted by Indeed analyzed feedback from over 600,000 Canadian employees spanning the period from June 2015 to May 2017. To qualify for consideration, companies had to accumulate a minimum of 50 reviews. The assessment was structured around five key categories, namely pay & benefits, work-life balance, workplace advancement, internal growth opportunities, and management & culture.
For interns placed at these esteemed institutions, the experience goes beyond mere professional development. It offers a glimpse into the inner workings of some of Canada’s most revered companies, providing invaluable insights and networking opportunities. Moreover, interns benefit from exposure to diverse workplace cultures and management styles, enriching their overall learning experience.
