Pros

Friendly and intelligent peers Work day eventually ends Richmond office seems nice

Cons

- Notoriously cheap, unable to provide basic resources for employees to perform their jobs - Most company IT operations based out of Richmond, BC with 3 hour time difference. Firewall issue? Network issues? Critical deadline? Wait until 12PM at a minimum. - Office was unkempt and filthy, consistently found 20+ year old equipment plugged in doing nothing, cabling was a mess, air conditioner wasn't cleaned for years, holes in the floor, network cabling a mess - Managers have no actual management experience - and it shows, they were promoted through seniority. Managers are also not rated by employees, which means despite terrible performance - this never actually gets discussed higher in the chain of command and addressed - The majority of your time will be spent dealing with the laughably slow bureaucratic processes of this inefficient beast. Prepare to spend all of your time writing emails for 7 weeks to appease company politics - only to find the work you were going to do has been cancelled.
