Pros

Good place to get your foot in the door for working in tech.

Cons

Toxic work culture where everyone things they are a SME, but actually know less than you. Senior leadership made a lot of snap decisions without sufficient data to back it up. Management will tell you they want something, but when you ask them to expand on it and what that looks like to them, they stare at you blankly. People within departments (besides the dev team) hold on to tools or tricks that make them stand out instead of sharing knowledge. Salary was in line with pay in Nova Scotia, which is much less than you could make anywhere else, especially with remote work. If remote work was more common at the time, my experience would have gotten me something much better than this. People were expected to consistently work after hours and on weekends to be available for prospective clients at any time. Senior leadership will not teach you anything, anything you need to learn will be on your own time, if you have energy left from working 12 hour days and on weekends.

We appreciate the opportunity to learn and grow from reviews, unfortunately, this review appears to be false and targeted by a malicious individual. There is a lot of anger and hate in the world and we are not interested in taking part. Getting upset only gives power to that individual and we wouldn't think of doing that. We are building a strong company full of amazing team members, and we serve customers who truly love what we have created. We have flagged this with GlassDoor and they have removed some posts and are investigating others further. We encourage whoever is reading these reviews to use critical thinking and a little curiosity and dig deeper than these reviews. We will be just as curious to get to know you and your goals and ambitions.

Pros

I've worked with this team to shift their software into a fully product-led-growth strategy which is a big change. The energy, the focus and the tenacity to do great work starts at the topic with Michelle, the new CEO.

Cons

We're all remote and time zones for meetings can be a bit of a challenge.

Pros

None that I can think of, probably being remote

Cons

Toxic, not trustworthy, all the other comments who say this are being honest and they are right.
