"Good company to get your IT career started"

Doesn't RecommendI worked at Long View Systems full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Opportunities to try different positions and advance your career (BUT, you have to take ownership of doing it); opportunities to work in different industries; great in-house leadership training course; depending on what team you are on - it can be really awesome or it can be downright awful
Cons
Dynamic of the organization has changed since its inception. It used to be about getting the best of the best and there was a genuine focus on the well-being of the employees. You weren't just a number and the managers, team leads, and People Services (HR) really cared about you and wanted to get to know you on a personal level. However, I feel that the focus on keeping that small company feel has deviated and it no longer has that 'family' feel. When the economy started taking a downturn, they started laying off some really talented people, but kept others that were mediocre. It became a numbers game and no longer about hiring and promoting the best people for the job.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Long View Systems full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
A company with positive vision, and they mean well. Many great people at this company around North America. A good place to earn your spurs in the industry. Average compensation but unequal, raises do not even match inflation.
Cons
Power remains in Calgary, and local branches and generally treated like outcasts. The Career Life Planning program is all talk, while it has been successful for many in the past it is all talk now.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on your time with us over the past 5+ years. We are sorry to see you go and sorry that you didn't get the experience that was intended for your Career Life Planning sessions. Although we always reassess and look to improve our internal programs, we have had and continue to have success with our CLPs - we are saddened that you did not experience that . Your feedback on how you felt like you weren't part of our company being in our Toronto branch, and how you felt you weren't fairly compensated, have been shared with our Executive Team. We want to make sure that wherever our employees are based, the experience is consistent and a positive one. We wish you the best of luck in your new endeavor. Thanks for all you did while you were here!
