The major con is that AgileBits is still startup mode even though it's very well past that stage.
- In places it's very disorganized. Little leadership structure below the founders.
- Desperately in need of a formalized HR program and team.
- Very miserly in terms of benefits for salary'd staff, All you get is a small allowance to cover health insurance. No other benefits at all. This is very disappointing as almost every other tech firm in the GTA of this size offers many benefits on top of the base salary. For a private company there are no stock options either...
- In some cases staff are being paid tens of thousands below the market rate.
- If you work outside of Canada you will be a contractor, but don't assume you'll get the typical 1.5x salary that a contractor will get compared to salaried staff.
