Pros

• Some managers and colleagues were supportive and professional during the majority of my tenure • Opportunity to work with various technologies and client projects • Initially provided learning opportunities in the consulting environment

Cons

• Unprofessional termination process: Management engaged in a 5-month period of increasingly unfair treatment before termination, creating a hostile work environment • Inconsistent performance standards: Goals and expectations were frequently changed without clear communication, making it impossible to meet shifting requirements • Public humiliation tactics: Issues were addressed inappropriately in group settings rather than through constructive private feedback • High turnover of quality engineers: Multiple skilled engineers were terminated during restructuring, indicating systemic management issues rather than individual performance problems • Lack of professional references: Despite years of service, management refused to provide references, even for employees who had contributed significantly. Contacted previous tech managers several times in various ways without any replies.

Pros

- Pay for some roles is above average - Historically, the company hosted quarterly in-person summits that were excellent for team bonding (though these have recently been scaled back because of budget) - Originally hired as a remote-first organization (recently, employees were mandated to come to the office)

Cons

- Heavy reliance on a very few anchor clients has led to instability and layoffs across global offices (Australia & Canada) when those accounts fluctuate - Promotion and bonus cycles often feel dictated by favouritism rather than objective peer feedback (you can write and achieve the SMARTest goals, but you won't get anything) - Critical information is often gatekept by leadership, leading to embarrassing situations where clients are sometimes better informed than the internal delivery team - Annual leave is 21 days, but ~10 days are consumed by a forced year-end shutdown - Management is aware of the toxic shifts in culture, but their response is purely performative; employees provide the feedback and action plans, but there is zero concrete execution from the top
