Pros
- if you ever want a career in politics and need a platform to test your skills, this is the place to do it. Even Trump would struggle to deal with the politics in this place. - theres two ways to work here, either do your 9-5 and take the pay check skipping through blissfully OR try and advance your career to be faced by self centred leadership destorying any idea of work/life balance - If you manage to survive the above and avoid being in a few senior staff members "black book" you have the chance to progress - Handful great staff left within the company, some of which have fantastic industry experience, in other environments they would be great mentors for junior members of staff but this isn't allowed to happen due to bad staffing decisions and overly aggressive targets. - Great place to get experience on your CV before bigger, better tech companies come to Toronto - Aggressive turnover within the last year has opened lots of positions - Good market to work in, lot's of opportunities especially as partners begin to look at competitor solutions and continue to grow.
Cons
- Customer no longer comes first - Heavily unstable core product, with initial releases being held back from large customers due to lack of faith in it. This can be found throughout the company but most notably in some of the most technical staff. - Room sharing to cost save, but wait... - There is so little trust in regional offices they would rather fly out hand picked staff from Canada and incur the costs accociated with it than use local resources - Pretty obvious deep routes of racism and sexism at higher levels of staff, which can be visually seen in upper management and the staff that attend tradeshows respectively - You are just a number - Poor internal communication
