      Toxic work environment covered up by recent 'positive' reviews that were requested by company to cover toxicity

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - One of few tech cos. in town in Calgary - Some thoughtful, kind and collaborative colleagues

      Cons

      Toxic work culture (in our office) due to: - Preferential treatment - Those that question the status quo are diminished. Those that enforce a toxic culture are protected and thrive; Highly political environment for such a small org - Incompetent, insecure and frequently absent manager who actively promotes infighting across teams - Rotating door policy - people who leave or are let go are treated as traitors while the hard questions as to to why a particular leader(s) is/are causing so many qualified people to leave in such a short time frame are left unexplored - Thin HR function - This company sells training software, but little emphasis is placed here. Career development opportunities are highly variable across the org and are dependent on your manager

      The haves and have-nots

      Senior software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work with some smart and supportive people. - Interesting product space.

      Cons

      - Product team continues to bleed our top talent. When we lose staff they're not being replaced, yet hiring and promotions for other departments is being flaunted. It's been made clear there's a hierarchy in the company, with the product team being at the bottom. - Feedback provided will be deflected and you'll be marked as a complainer. - A lot of perks and benefits have been removed. Total compensation is not competitive. - Communication from execs requires several rounds of backtracking, hand-waving and clarification.

      Pros

      Great co-workers, opportunities to learn.

      Cons

      Many employees dislike one of the VPs. Several people have transferred or left because they don't want to work under him. Can never tell what will happen next with him.
