Pros

- common social events - work from home occasionally - travel opportunity - cool technology

Pros

- Very friendly people - Cozy Working atmosphere

Cons

- People don't really engage with new people

Pros

My team is very close and we get to work on some neat stuff, but if any one of them left many of us wouldn’t be far behind.

Cons

Sandvine is not what it used to be. We don’t really have a culture anymore. The days of being a “Great Place to Work” are so far gone. Executive leadership has moved to the US and it is a very different style than Sandvine 1.0. Very little communication and transparency. Only focus is on making money and if you are not a money maker you can consider yourself at risk at being out of a job. Mindset that anyone is “replaceable”. Very little career development and opportunities.

Pros

Sandvine has great products, marketshare and a go-to-market strategy

Cons

Do not take a sales position here. 'Bringing in the numbers' on a 30/60/90 basis with a complete disregard for the customer or sales person has led to 'high turnover'. Very tactical top-down sales push versus strategic selling is the focus. Some senior sales leaders never stop searching for something to over-analyze and micromanage. Under constant surveillance and inspection, this makes the sales team feel discouraged, frustrated and uncomfortable.
