Pros

Nice office space right in the heart of downtown vancouver Occasional free food Get to work on high impact projects which help beef up the resume

Cons

They are very traditional for a tech company, rate of progress is loaded with processes. Adoption of new technology is at least 10years behind Any new idea is challenged by managers and not discussed openly. You will feel like your defending it when all you wanted is an open discussion Extremely competitive co-workers, you have to play "the game" Mangers are fabulous engineers but not great managers They consider working from home a luxury (don't do it) Very low pay Too many projects that lack direction, your always very busy working No room to grow or for promotion. -- Not sure about the other offices, this is specific for Vancouver only

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
