Pros

- The office design is nice

Cons

Where do I start... 1. Accounting/IT system is absolutely horrendous. Seems like the company grew too fast without implementing IT properly and now it's too late to fix. God help you if you're trying to run a meaningful report without having to make 12,000 adjustments. 2. ZERO controls, the entire accounting function is a complete mess and will definitely implode at some point (or perhaps has already started imploding). This is tied to point 1 above. This actually makes it impossible to do your work and have confidence that what you're producing is correct, which causes unnecessary stress and anxiety. 3. Tons of office politics, people getting fired left and right for random reasons while even more random people get promoted 4. Extremely long hours for little pay (80-100 hours a week) 5. Like I said above, office decor is nice BUT it's way too crammed and even the furniture is made for elves. I had trouble fitting my legs under my desk. Working here was a nightmare and I am so glad I left. Never in my life have I seen an accounting department that is so messy.

Pros

Navigating the application and recruiting process with HR was great, interviewing with several stages of managers and execs was a pleasure. Since getting started, have always felt very welcome and provided with all the resources and training I think I need. It's appreciated that Executives personally introduce themselves and get to know you, let you know you are a part of the team and that they are available as a resource. Very interesting company involved around the continent in some pretty exciting projects.

Cons

Was some confusion and conflicting info around in-office vs hybrid/WFH situation. But expect this to be resolved with conversation and compromise.

Pros

- 95% of the people are fantastic -open workplace culture, overall relaxed environment but hard-working -the company has a great future and is changing the city

Cons

- you pay is likely a bit under market rate, try to negotiate salary before you start, otherwise you won't be getting more once you're in - CEO has an inner circle of 5-10 key players, if you are one of them life is demanding but the pay is fantastic. If you work for one of these people your life could be very difficult. A fair amount of nepotism but it's a smaller company and not totally surprising.
