I never thought I would get such great hands on experience in my
first job out of university. One thing I value the most working
here is essentially the guidance that I have received from the
senior executive members of the team.
I chose Ontario Teachers' as a place to start my career because
of the steep learning curve - really interesting exposure at
such a junior stage of my career. Working for a
purpose-led organization - coming to work and knowing that I'm
contributing to the pensions of the teachers of Ontario.
I would say it's a very dynamic experience with a lot of project
ownership exposure as an intern that you can take to learn
across different sectors, different deals or even just
learn about how to manage a portfolio company.
As a software developer, I've been able to work on a project from the start
to finish and this is really important to me and valuable
because I got to see a digital product come to life.
I would say the culture working here is very diverse, so even
though I'm working in the Hong Kong team, I still get a lot of
exposure working with colleagues from different regions.
Constantly learning from very diverse mindsets, people from
different backgrounds, which I think is one of the best kind of
working environments you can have. I find that every day when
we come to work, people are really encouraged to stay true
to themselves and not be afraid to share their unique perspectives
and ideas
That's really important to me because I can see how that
really contributes to having such successful and
collaborative teams and being able to come up with creative
solutions.
