Pros

- Good group of people (non management) - Good pay - Excellent location (at Yonge and King)

Cons

- Outdated equipment. On my first day I was presented with an ancient artifact covered in dust and some sticky substances. - High turnover; e.g., surprising amount of firings. This typically happens at the end of each quarter after financials are publicly released. - Employees are often called to work during their vacation. - Inadequate understanding of product Development and QA by upper management - Unqualified (and unfamiliar) people allocated for QA tasks - The sales "team" appears to lack product understanding - Nepotistic (sadly, they use unqualified people for some roles because of this)

Pros

Salary is good. Payments are made regularly. There is no pressure on anybody. Most non-manager people are friendly and easy going.

Cons

The management doesn't even belong in the IT industry. They live in their dreams. They have no undestanding of how software development works yet they think they know everything. Non technical managers have their opinion about every technical detail that they cannot even understand. You dare disagree and you're next out the door.

Pros

Compensation seemed pretty good, higher end of the scale

Cons

The attitude from management was 'we paid for you, we own you'.
