Pros

• Remote Work: The company offers remote flexibility, which is a plus. • Decent Bonus: The bonus structure is reasonable compared to industry standards. • Good Equipment: The provided equipment is adequate for work. • Some Autonomy: There’s a certain level of freedom in how you approach tasks.

Cons

1. Poor Leadership & Toxic Culture: Management lacks the ability to foster a healthy and productive work environment. Decisions are often arbitrary, and there is no real leadership. 2. No Career Growth: There are no structured career progression plans, mentorship, or real incentives for development. Hard work goes unnoticed unless you align with office politics. 3. Politics Over Performance: Many higher-ups hold their positions due to luck rather than competence. Promotions and opportunities are based on favoritism rather than actual contributions. 4. Inconsistent Hiring Practices: The company hires a mix of underqualified developers who require constant supervision and individuals with poor workplace behavior. 5. Management Favors Yes-Men: Those who echo management’s opinions are rewarded, while those who challenge ideas or genuinely deliver results are overlooked.

Pros

- coworkers are friendly if somewhat outdated technically

Cons

- tech stack is stuck in 2013 - pay is low even for Mississauga - there’s no room whatsoever for career development. You’ll be churning out rushed, incomplete features on an obsolete platform for the next ten years and you’ll do it without a pay raise, not even cost of living - “remote positions” were not honoured at all, every time there is a lull in COVID employees are expected back in the office - turnover is incredibly high

Hi—We're very sorry to hear your experience was less than exceptional. We wish you'd felt comfortable or had the right contact to make changes while you were here. We have the team and structures to assist with any challenges our team members might be feeling in a productive and confidential space. If you'd like to provide more actional feedback, please contact hello@compassdigital.io, and we can offer you a forum for discussion. We believe there may have been a misunderstanding regarding remote work. We've made it our top priority to ensure our team members feel comfortable and safe. While we were fully remote for the majority of 2020 and 2021, we did have periods where our teams were able to join us in the office on a 100% voluntary basis at a limited capacity.

Pros

- Very enjoyable team to work with, hard working, professional, approachable, and responsive. - Remote work (if applicable) and flexible hours is GREAT! - Flat(ish) corporate hierarchy, superiors treat you with respect and it feels like they're always connected/in touch with the team. - Transparency regarding company projects and initiatives with quarterly updates.

Cons

- Like most, it can be out of the way for some people, but the remote work / flexible hours really makes this work attractive.
