SMART Technologies Reviews

Pros

- Young, friendly staff - casual dress code - interesting product line

Cons

- manage young professionals as if factory workers - very strict policies about vacation time

Pros

Collaborative environment and great teams. There were learning opportunities.

Cons

Company Grew too fast back in the days, competition, lost small feel back then, it appears they have revamped now.

Pros

Your coworkers will be awesome. Decent office location near transit. Good PTO policies.

Cons

Office location is kind of isolated. Lack of parking at head office (and it's paid :/) Company revenue is tied to the whims of government education financing.

Pros

thought it was a good company with passion, I thought I would excel. Constant change and bad manager

Cons

My spirit and drive to do well was destroyed very quickly with a bad manager

Pros

The people were the best. I felt I had really found my place / niche in the world as far as my career goes. Also, I was given the independence to work on projects without constant monitoring. My supervisor trusted me to get my work done.

Cons

They laid off so many people, I couldn’t keep up with the constantly growing workload. I had to put in hours of my vacation time to keep up. This practice was applauded rather than discouraged. Senior management was happy to have one person take on the workload of three laid off colleagues. Pay was much lower than standard. I was earning almost $20,000/year less than others with similar experience in other companies.

Pros

Passionate leadership with genuine interest in doing good while driving success

Cons

Siloed mentality leads to slower and less effective execution
