Pros

- Lots of fun social events when in the office (e.g. annual Summer & Christmas party, birthday cake and free breakfast twice a month) - Free drinks, coffee, beer and fruits - Company values internal promotions and is a good place to advance your career if you're willing to put in the hours and work

Cons

- For the past year I have been working very long hours. The work is never ending and the company tries to provide more relief by hiring more people, but because of the hours and lack of engagement for those new people, the new hires leave and the cycle begins again. I often work late into the evening, and on the weekend in order to catch up. I experienced stress that affected my physical health. - The company is very old fashioned and is not a great place to up your skillset. - I wish the company celebrated more cultural events. St. Patrick's Day seems to be a big event (because lots of the management are Irish) but all other events (e.g. Diwali, Chinese New Year) are mostly forgotten.

We understand that the last year has been a challenge and that many of our staff have been working extra hours to keep up with client deliverables. We continue to hire staff at all levels and have been working with our management team to ensure there is a healthy work/life balance. We appreciate your feedback.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
