Pros

Good pit stop if you need experience, but don't get comfortable.

Cons

- Market themselves as a "start-up", but have been around for 15+ years. - No professionalism. A family run business, so loud family fights can be heard through the whole entire office. Fights aren't in English, but employees names can be heard through the conversation, so it is always clear who is being talked about. Causes major tension. - Rude, racially insensitive, sexist comments made frequently - There is so much nepotism here. Managerial and director positions are awarded based on familial connections to ownership, rather than experience, skill, or knowledge. It doesn't seem to matter what your qualifications are or how well equipped you are for your job, as long as you're family or close friend. - Super cliquey environment. Same group of people are always left out of social activities. - You will be paid the absolute bare minimum unless you call them out for underpaying you. So speak up. I'd like to note that we are frequently asked to write positive Glassdoor reviews because of all the bad reviews they are getting. My guess is that this is why there has been an influx of overly positive reviews recently.

Lambda Solutions is a pioneer. We have been around for 15+ years; we are a deeply rooted, strong, established company in Canada. We are also constantly striving to evolve and reach for greater heights, innovating and disrupting the existing business model, with new technology, which gives us a “start-up” vibe. These combined factors make Lambda Solutions a dynamic, exciting place to work that attracts top talent who are driven by new challenges and achieving top results. As a company founded and led by a woman, we are built on the fundamental right for equal opportunity in the workplace. As recently reported by CBC, just 5% of Canadian technology companies have a female founder and a similar fraction have a woman as CEO, suggesting the industry's gender diversity is lagging compared to other sectors. Research also shows that diverse organizations make better decisions, and companies with diverse leadership see rewards in their bottom line. We are proud of our diverse and inclusive workplace and our success is due to the talent and dedication of our exceptional team. Advancement in our company is based on an individual’s merit. Period. Employee Job Satisfaction In a perfect world, 100% of employees are happy with their job and in their working environment. However, despite best efforts, an organization will inevitably find select employees, or former employees, do not share the same positive view that the majority of other employees do. We appreciate that this is the reality and see it as an opportunity to learn on how we can improve. As CEO, I consistently encourage an “open door” policy for dialogue with all employees. The essence of this policy is free and fluid communication in an environment of trust and mutual respect that creates an environment for collaboration, growth, high performance and success across Lambda Solutions. “Family” Company Many of Canada’s largest and most well-known businesses are family-owned, including Bombardier, McCain Foods, and Molson Coors. Family businesses are the heart of commerce and industry in Canada. A family-like workplace is built on respect, common goals and communication. The team feels like a family - including those actually related and those who have become family by through working together. This as an asset to the company that sets the feeling of a second home where: -Teams share decision-making duties -There is a feeling of camaraderie -Communication involves mutual respect and listening -Employees have opportunities to provide input and feedback Your Management Team is your advocate in creating a work environment where your input is welcome.

Pros

- There are some good, nice people who currently work there.

Cons

- Management/Senior Management openly speak in Hebrew about employees (you can hear them use people’s names), with the employees sitting around. This is considered “normal” and was openly stated that they use Hebrew to discuss employees when they don’t want others to understand them. - Conversations in a different language happen multiple times a day between management in the open workspace environment. - CEO addressed this in a staff meeting but it continued that very same day and never slowed down, let alone stop. - They may claim to value their employees, but at the end of the day you are treated as a number on a spreadsheet. - Trying to get money-owed from the company was met with great resistance, with communication often going unanswered. - They will pay you the bare legal minimum of what is owed. - In a closed-door room, a Senior Manager requested that I write a positive review online about the company due to an influx of negative reviews. - Flexible hours are not true: I asked to adjust my hours on one or two days a week for a short period for a personal matter and was told “do not make this a habit” after just 2 of these days. - Management style I experienced was very much “do what I say, not what I do.” o Example above of inflexible work hours – management took advantage and regularly showed up late for short days, yet I could have been on calls from early morning or late at night to support the company and no allowances were made for my core work hours, even outside of personal matters. - Nepotism is rife – totally understandable in a family run business, but I strongly feel that the senior manager lacks the qualifications and shows no signs of managerial training that should be required to oversee the departments. - High turnover and they do very little to nurture their own talent. - Loud arguments, and shouting, happened multiple times between senior management during my tenure. - Previous negative reviews posted on Glassdoor speak a lot of truth.

Pros

There's beer on Fridays sometimes.

Cons

This place is not in good shape, and I would not be surprised if they folded in the next two years. They have "launched" the same product 3 times.
