Pros

The technology has a slim chance of making it, but if they had the right management team in place, and a strong CEO, the technology could potentially work. The lower-end employees are really fun to work with.

Cons

I worked there for a short while and I can honestly say that it was one of the worst experiences of my professional life. The management team regularly belittles its employees making it feel more like a disciplinary hearing rather than a business meeting. After a couple of months there you begin to numb to the abuse and stressful working conditions; you forget that there are thousands of great companies across Vancouver that offer food, games, fun and most importantly respect to the working environment. And respect is key. I left shortly after starting, I now work for an amazing company, get paid better, and treated with a greater deal of respect; I am treated as a professional, and valued for my contributions. My advice. Turn and run if you are ever contacted by this company.

Pros

1. Great office location in Gastown. Free gym membership. Great shower with free towel service. 2. Awesome co-workers. I made more friends here than previous jobs. 3. Free coffee!!! 4. I learned a lot in a short amount of time I worked there.

Cons

1. High turnover. REALLY, REALLY, HIGH. Don't get comfy here. Keep your options open. 2. CEO had a very bad temper. When he's in the office, the morale is really LOW! 3. Timelines were very hectic. High pressure to perform and deliver in very short timeframes. 4. Salary a bit low for the industry. I took a pay cut so I could just get employed. 5. They hired a bad contracting company full of high paid consultants to re-develop their core product (MyWurld Travel Platform). These consultants just milked the company but delivered a really bad product.
