Pros

Great people (see also cons) who are committed to the cause. Good environment. Challenging work. Collaborative environment where people genuinely want to do the right thing.

Cons

People are ambitious which can cause problems. Senior UK management are pretty lack lustre and don't follow through on any promises they make. Investment was promised and has not been forthcoming. Pay is falling behind the market.

Pros

- Generally great culture, very open, fun events, free swag and food - Investment in education - Great pay when comparing to similar positions on the market - Work from home option - Employee stock plan has no vesting period - Employer matched RRSP contributions are really good - Generally really good hiring process that weeds out individuals without the appropriate technical skills - They actually fire people who are not performing to keep up a high performance level

Cons

- Hiring process is long and slow with many steps - Lots of change in upper management results in a very dynamic and not so enjoyable work environment - Some departments not as good to work for as others. Data analyst team is great; finance team is not so great - Not a lot of room to move up within Canada, although there are lots of opportunities in the US and particularly Richmond, Virginia
