      An unfortunately poisonous culture

      Pros

      Generous benefits, time off, travel ability.

      Cons

      There is definitely a culture of superiority, arrogance and we know something the rest of the world doesn't. What we do is not rocket science. But developers are overly valued as gods, and we forsake infrastructure, solid planning, resource management and responsible governance. It's easy to say we're successful because we have cash coming in the door, but what lies beneath the cash is actually a quite poorly managed and led company.

      Great fit for intelligent hard working individuals.

      Pros

      Transparency (monthly AMAs with the CEO). Accolades (company bonus system based on employee voting). Technical focus (CEO still codes and comments on PRs). Strong focus on simplicity (everyone will challenge you to find a simpler solution). Amazing perks (lunches are really good). Exceptional staff in all departments. Flexible hours (generally 10-5, work from home if sick).

      Cons

      More work than can be completed. You need a strong lead to deflect work and focus on quality. Young employees. Can make it more challenging to connect if you are 30+ Inexperienced staff. Reinventing the wheel a lot. (not so much bigco cargo culting though) High expectations and stress that goes with it. Burnout is probably more likely here than usual. Remote offices don't get treated equally. Move to Ottawa if you can, great city.

      Pros

      the food is good. that is it.

      Cons

      meetings are a waste of time and are not very productive. salary is pretty bad compared to other workplaces. workhours aren't that great and tend to suck the life out of you. the apple love is annoying.
