Pros

Aequilibrium is a great place for your first job in Canada, offering valuable experience to build your resume. The team is fantastic—most of the people I supported were software developers, so they were knowledgeable about their computers. My colleagues were generally easy to work with, and I enjoyed the Mac-based technology stack. Overall, I had a positive experience working there.

Cons

There was no real business need for an IT team, and as the sole IT Support Specialist, there was no opportunity for career growth. My salary remained unchanged for the last two to three years. By the time I left Aequilibrium, I felt that I had stayed longer than I should have.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your many years of support for the team at Aequilibrium. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed working with your colleagues and appreciated the collaborative culture and technology environment. As we transitioned to a fully remote company with many technically self-sufficient developers, our IT needs have become more limited. Over time, we realized the role was evolving into more of a part-time operational need rather than a long-term IT team structure. We understand how that could limit career growth in that position. We appreciate the contributions you made during your time with us and wish you continued success in your next chapter.

Pros

AEQ is truly entrepreneurial. We are striving to be leaders in our field, and going for it. This year we were awarded with many industry awards which signified that we are focusing on the right stuff - really sharpening our craft and hiring the right people.

Cons

We are in high growth start up mode. We grew about 500% since I joined. This means growing pains, but I have worked in three start ups and what we are experiencing is typical.
