Pros
Friendly & non-stuffy work environment. Very flat structure - lots of idea and info sharing. Some interesting problems to solve and never a boring moment. A good place to learn behind the scenes on telecom networks, both business and technical.
Cons
Management (CEO) is a workaholic, always at the office. It's a bit scary... also means there's not much 'down' time...
Advice to Management
Cubicles for 'private space' instead of open concept

Pros
* Interesting international projects * AWESOME new office, really clean and beautiful view and facility (Amazing bathrooms) * Lots of challenging projects
Cons
* Many times projects run late, resulting in last minute dash to get things done * Sometimes the office culture feels like an engineering lab / university student lounge and not a professional company
Advice to Management
Hire a few more 'suits' to be more professional/mature

Pros

Other pros: - flex start time - free breakfast daily - beer Fridays weekly - team lunch outings monthly - weekday company social events (yes, get paid to play) - standing desks - herman miller chairs - catered...

- Office can get almost too quiet at times - Hard to get to know people from other teams as some teams really keep to themselves
Advice to Management
Thank you for fostering an amazing culture, I'm loving my time here for all the reasons stated above (and many other reasons not mentioned). Keep up the great work! One thing that would be great to add is more regular updates on big picture and company direction/future.

Pros
-friendly environment -lots of social events -fresh fruit everyday, plus different types of cereal, oatmeal, coffee maker, milk and dairy free milk. -benefits -no dress code -wellness program -corporate rate for cellphone plans
Cons
-some teams tend to isolate from the rest
Advice to Management
Keep that boss-employee tight bond. I’ve noticed that majority of the managers get together with the staff every other week just to check how things are going. That’s key to establish a trustworthy relationship. I’m very pleased with my manager!

Negative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at airG full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
* The people are great * The benefits are good * Downtown location is easy to get to (Unless you're driving ... $200/mo parking)
Cons
* Lack of trust in employees * Open plan = endless interruptions * The pay isn't great, but given the products, I suspect not much money is being made * Obsolete/ignored/inconsequential products * Poor project planning * Micromanagement
Advice to Management
Have a vision and plan ahead. Work around barriers and adjust your vision accordingly. Your employees know their stuff ... let them shine instead of micro-managing projects.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at airG full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Some teams are friendly. Lots of company events
Cons
Depending on which team you are in. If you happen to be in the Integrations team, good luck to you. This is a team where everything is thrown onto you but you are never appreciated. The lead has no idea what is happening and only loves to chat with management. If you are one who loves to talk and butter up to your seniors and superiors, then you will do well in this organization. All the talk of work life balance only...

The reason why people leave is the lack of appreciation and people do not like to hear advise from others.
