Pros

- Working day-to-day with latest cloud technologies and related tools, teams are always evolving & adapting. - Excellent culture and very smart people - Close collaboration with teams located in different geographical regions - Regular one on one meetings with management - Markham office is the host for various tech events like Toronto Tech Summit and Hackathon and there are ample of opportunities to volunteer & participate in the various events - Free drinks, Daisani water, Nespresso machine, fruits, dart machine, tournament grade foosball table, xbox one - Examples of social events in the past like archery tag, treetop trekking, bowling, indoor rock climbing, etc. - Flexible work hours - Lot's of fast food choices for lunch nearby within 5-10 minutes of driving distance (Popeye's Chicken, Shawarma Stop, Longo's, Wendy's, Tim Hortons, Big Smoke Burger, First Markham Place Food Court, Pizza Nova, Starbucks, Burger King) - Standing desks

Cons

- No walkable/close distance food nearby, only option to grab a quick bite is the cafe located on the first floor - Very limited number of meeting rooms available - More flexibility in health benefit provided (in some other companies, they provide an option for employees to opt-out and have flex money to spend in gym membership or health related purchases instead). Currently the vision coverage amount is mediocre, for example.

Pros

Interesting take on customer experience using AI. Good pay for the role.

Cons

Favoritism amongst certain individuals and teams. I've heard that some sellers were removed from accounts just as they were going to close deals and therefore lost their commission. The messaging is that you can speak to any leader but that is not always the case.
