Dying Company

Pros

Nice Vancouver office location in Gastown

Cons

To keep it short, the other negative reviews say it all. Not only is there toxic leadership, the company has had many months of payroll issues where all employees have been told they need to wait to be paid. It's not a stable company and there's lots of terrible business decisions being made and way too much middle management slowing things down. The excuse of being a "startup" is not valid here. The company has been around nearly a decade, it's just a poor excuse to explain away ineffective processes and working harder, not smarter. They hire people who put up with minimal pay and people who are willing to be overworked hold this company together. Avoid this place at all costs.

Pros

The only pro will be never working here.

Cons

AI will replace this company and your job. Imagine taking the worst aspects of capitalism ie long hours, poor pay, incompetent and ego driven management without business training, with none of the benefits of capitalism, this sill be your existence. Also, passive aggressive management and employees will regularly undermine you, if you speak up or demonstrate competence. Left for two weeks and someone was trying to take my job, was in the hospital for a stroke related to work stress, so you cannot even take time off without someone trying to undermine you.

Pros

I liked the small team and start-up vibe. VC was only on the up when I got hired. Some really dedicated talented people on the team.

Cons

There was several restructuring in the 3 years I was there that I felt muddied the processes. Around the time I left management was struggling with the consequences on some poor business decisions so morale was low. Perks of the job no longer offset the lack of clear vision and direction of the company. Got monotonous and didn't feel I was growing,
