Pros

Great boss, great team, cool technology, cool products, good work-life balance, flexible hours, flexible time off

Cons

Barely adequate health and dental insurance benefits (Canada Life is pretty terrible...) Corporate structure isn't ideal, too many decisions made abroad Pay raises were laughable (especially considering record inflation) and bonuses were cheap and minimal Generally, corporate governance was stingy and distant Didn't trust them, didn't feel empowered by them Company went private after being purchased by a private equity firm that swore up and down there would be no employment changes and then proceeded to lay 100s of people off two weeks before Christmas

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
