Pros

- You get to work on interesting projects - Smart coworkers - Somewhat flexible work hours

Cons

- Terrible work life balance. You will get calls and messages from work on the weekends and have to work overtime without extra pay - Manager expects you to work the same hours and as hard as the India team. - If there's something you are stuck on, you have to get assistance from the India team. This can take anywhere from hours to a day - The manager and all the higher ups at the company have terrible manners and doesn't care for the employees. I've been part of multiple meetings where the higher ups talk down to newer employees, and even older employees. Basically a lot of finger pointing. - Not an ounce of origination in any of the projects. It's a mess. No proper documentations exists - Almost every project at the company was started by a certain person, and every change you make to the projects must go through him. - Meetings are never pre-planned. You'll have to wake up very early in the morning meetings with the India team, and it'd be cancelled on the spot. This has happened over 20 during my career at the company. - The Toronto office is the most under funded office, and they cannot even afford to purchase necessary items for a office to function. - New features are added to projects daily, and testing is never done. AVOID WORKING AT THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

Pros

- Great compensation for a sophomore computer science major. - Approachable staff - Great work culture and work life balance - More freedom given to work on projects, less grunt work.

Cons

- Have to sometimes aggressively pursue higher-ups to get more work. - Less structured than a standard internship, less training and more about learning on the job (although this could be a pro to some).
