Pros

- fun industry - free toys - nice office in downtown Toronto

Cons

- nepotism - those who know the owners get treated better than those who don't. many relatives get "manager" level jobs for doing very little work. you can even get a "manager" job if you play tennis with the owners. - tons of work for no bonus. while the c-suite make tens of millions - has become heartless. many people get fire because upper management tries to blame others for their own failures in leadership. they don't provide enough resources for others to succeed.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
