Pros
Ayuda is a phenomenal company, full of energy and passion for innovation. From the humble beginnings building WinForms for a single customer, it grew into a company spanning continents using the latest mobile and web technologies. It treats employees as a family, with biggest perks being flexibility and openness. Developer hardware is nothing short of amazing with everyone getting a three-monitor setup with monster machines to boot. The communication within the office is great, with everyone having an open-door policy and being ready to brainstorm at a moment’s notice. Employees are smart, dedicated and friendly. The Montreal office, mixing open-space and offices, is nothing short of beautiful, offering a great location in the Old Port and the perks to delight a geek (game room, large TVs, coffee machine and more).
Cons
The environment is fast-paced and priorities shift frequently – Ayuda’s agility is not for everyone. Employees are expected to be ready to take on new challenges and technologies on a short notice – both a blessing and a curse. Ayuda is not heavy on process which can surprise people coming from more formal environments.
