Pros

The office is kinda cool and they give you good equipment You're going to work on a f-ton of projects, looks good on the cv Has extremely competent and numerous women in the workforce Mark, the CEO, will take the time to hear you if talk to him.

Cons

Before the pandemic they had NO TRUST in the employee to work remotely. Seems like the current context has forced them to change, how funny. Not willingly so, that I can guarantee. Work is repetitive and there's not much room to discuss actual engineering and solutions. Some designers have no clue what they're doing when it comes to the web. They come up with non feasible mockups, project managers arrange everything with the clients and good luck for devs to implement that in the surreal timeframe they will give you. They charged employees for cheap snacks that could easily be offered for free. They claim to have games in the office, but you'll likely never touch them because you'll be overworked. And finally a couple of Francophones with whom I worked would make very subtle comments in French with one another so that I wouldn't understand what they were saying. Disrespectful to say the least. Seems like the only interesting project going on is Star Citizen. The rest is all tech-debt or short-lived in the case of the other few interesting ones.

Pros

The culture inside the company is very pleasant, everyone is nice and we feel in a non-hostile environment. Technology is always up to date, we tend to use cutting edge technology to support our main project and we have several processes to ensure the quality of our systems and code. There is also paid training which helps to fill time when in between projects

Cons

Sometimes it feels like we are not exercising our full potential due to having to take some random mainentance tasks with poor description, this can last for weeks when we find ourselves in between projects. It can bring the fun out of work since we are not actually exercising our problem solving skills in a meaningfull task. I don't fully blame the company though, some things are necessary, but I believe there is room for improvement when it comes to the way we manage this.
