Business Outlook

Pros

HQ and office space is fairly new and decent amenities Company does promote an active lifestyle and it's embedded in the culture Career advancement is possible as org is fairly flat, lateral moves are seen more regularly compared to other tech companies in the area Company has growth potential and healthy cashflows

Cons

Our standard monitors are way behind in quality (they need serious upgrade if we are to work full-days here for everyone not remote) Again, company is moving to full remote with flex Fridays, which is a mistake -- perhaps a kind of quiet layoff (Expect all kinds of resentment/employee drama to ensue]. You're expected to come to work but parking is not free; and HQ location isn't exactly easily accessible by public transit from all areas in the region Company compensation is average to below median Project work is demanding and often does require long hours
