Pros

Office is located Downtown, next to Peel station Free coffee, sandwiches, snacks, and beer PlayStation 4, hockey table, foosball table, etc. Schedule is flexible to some extent Wide array of projects Salary is not bad

Cons

All internal communications (Slack) are monitored No software development process Management is unprofessional and things can get personal Company is not focused on quality Very few benefits There is no supervisor and Management is not technical; it is difficult to receive pertinent evaluation Feedback is only given when mistakes happen; never positive feedback Half of the company are interns and the other half are average developers Too many rotations Dev is responsible for the whole stack, including facing the client Work is done alone or in a very small team with no management Lacking leadership, communication, and transparency

Thank you for your compliments to the office and the people. We’re also glad that you enjoyed the food :) We’re definitely not perfect when it comes to testing candidates during our hiring process. Sometimes we take a chance on someone and on rare occasions, it doesn’t work out. We continue to improve on our testing process. We truly hope that you find your rhythm with your next employer.

Pros

- Food (at least until Thursday lol ), great coffee, fruits, cereal, yogurt - Staff is nice, friendly and open to help you - Location/office is great - Free Beer/wine (the beer is always great)

Cons

- Log the hours is really annoying - I wish they had better standards and a QA team - the dev has to talk to clients and usually, the dev doesn't have anyone to help with requirements
