Pros

Its a fun company, fun coworkers, tries to act big so they have a fun environment. Work life balance

Cons

It is slow, confused, silod, political, and innovation shunting. Want you to be DevOps / SRE / Ops in one role but will not pay you accordignly. The salary is horrible the mgmt does not care about you and you will be cut off if they chose to. The CEO sees employees as ants.

Pros

It was a excellent company until 2016 until CEO become to be obsessed by money, stocks and beat IBM and others big companies .

Cons

- CEO lies that always is because of cost - Several freezes - Poor Management and Micromanagement - Be happy if you have 2% raise every 3 years - They have a huge issue with the structure having overqualified people in positions that have no career path to move up, so or you be submissive or they will make your life miserable to you quit or they put you in probation and if nothing works layoff you. - No raise or promotion even if you have the highest score in the evaluation as soon there are no career path - Lies and omissions during hiring, then change the rules after you are on board - Managers chaise people and hide behind HR who cover them - Company just buy other companies and every time more they say have less money to share - RRSP match cut with COVID excuse, but the real truth is the CEO excuse have money to buy new companies - Do not follow compliance rules and if raise an issue HR will make you guilty to hide the management problems - is becoming no longer a multicultural environment and they are often hiring people with only working VISA - several benefits cut off - work in environments with less people then required, so you will work for 2 and receive less then the market pays - Several people having illness, but HR hide this because they know the management is causing it and need to hide politically - VPs and CEO before COVID changed the rule making all work from office and now want show they are good guys but the real truth they want you in the office because they don't want to see empty chairs to do micromanagement. - They want you that you produce as 2 or 3 people, put in the evaluation that you are in the average to not give raises and promotions, smile when they do micromanagement or chaise other employees, and say yes for everything the do even against the law. - Payment raises are inferior to the Canada inflation if you have it - No longer motivated employees, they just stay for lack of options - The company has no clue what they are...in the past was a software company but now they don't know if they follow as a software company, consulting firm, support company or even just a company who buy others to acquire customers.

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, RRSP matching, decent health benefits

Cons

Poor pay, managers don't know enough about what their staff are doing, difficult to change positions

Pros

the general life experience and growth from the situation looking back

Cons

having to go through the experience day by day and then having to stop & reflect and grow from that as if in a prolonged game of snakes and ladders but outnumbered by the snakes

Pros

Good STARTING salary and benefits

Cons

- No raise most years, even with 6 excellent performance reviews - No cost of living increase EVERY year - Thanks to a 5% salary cut (COVID19 measures), after 6 years I now make less than on my first day.... think about that - Most of the positive reviews on here are nonsense and propaganda

Pros

Really none that I saw.

Cons

Unfeeling corporate climate. They will praise your work while getting the knife ready behind your back. Take advantage of any situation to pad their numbers, even if it hurts the hard working staff.
