Pros

- Strong horizontal movement with lots of opportunities to build new skills - Fun and casual. Extremely female positive. - Office building gym membership included and unlimited YYC cycle - Supportive management regarding mental health - Trust amongst peers to get their work done, not a lot of micro-management - The people you surround yourself with will greatly affect your experience

Cons

- If you don't find your group of people you're going to quickly feel like an outcast - Drinking and partying is glorified amongst the employees - Upwards movement isn't clear, some expectations are unreasonable (being perfect/no mistakes) - You can expect to be working overtime, none of which will be compensated - Poor training with differing standards among departments. This leads to a messy backend system that is inconsistent at best - Unsustainable workloads and client portfolios - CEO loves his sales teams, the same attention is not given to the teams behind them that make the products that they're selling - CEO's desire to expand and grow faster than the foundational support teams can keep their products stable - Widespread freebies given to unhappy clients that come at the cost of the departments that manage those products and not out of the sales team - Management of clients is extremely disorganized leading to unhappy clients which leads to the freebies

Pros

Everyone is super nice and fun to work with. Your team members are always willing to help. The company is progressive and supports minorities, women, etc.

Cons

If you have an issue with being underpaid and you let management know, they will avoid you. It's also kind of annoying how the company will spend thousands of dollars on going to conventions and hosting after parties for potential sales, and the employees are paid breadcrumbs. SUPPORT YOUR EMPLOYEES FIRST!
