Corel is not a place that innovation thrives

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Above average vacation time (hey it's a Canadian company!) They try to treat employees with respect (at least in North America)

Cons

It's a mix of many companies they acquired, plagued by poor management. If you're an innovative person looking for an exciting work, this place is not for you.

Great place for someone to jumpstart their careers

Pros

The best thing about Corel are it's people. Due to downsizing, the ones left are true professionals with great flair. For a software corporation of its size, its scale of operations is quite extensive and this is all due to the quality of its employees. If you are a junior to intermediate level person who wishes to grow, this is a great place as you will be working with world-class professionals with a can-do attitude to everything.

Cons

Very little room for advancement. Management hold onto their positions tightly and keep their employees from evolving into leadership roles. If you are a senior-level person, you will find it frustrating at the least.

Pros

Good group of highly skilled people that enjoy their work and their products. Decent perks, work flexibility, and consistent perfromance recognition throughout.

Cons

Recent history of investor purchase, delisting, relisting, delisting again. Very tight ship with little room or budget for innovation. Culture of "me too" products. High executive aversion to risk.
