Pros

From beginning to end, the interview process at FGF should be the gold standard within industries. Not only was it extremely well organized, timely, and professional it had an overwhelmingly strong human element as the foundation for the entire process. From the first call you immediately knew you were talking with someone who was passionate and knowledgeable of the organization and the specific role - a true brand ambassador of everything FGF. They knew how to connect you to what the culture, environment, responsibilities truly were and how your strengths and experience would align within the role and company. From there, as you met with various leaders and stakeholders, it was all about fit - not just for them but for you as well. I can't speak highly enough of the overall process and experience. Hands down - a must have in your business and an ultimate applicant experience. BRAVO!!!

Cons

No cons - I have never heard or experienced anything like it.

We are glad you got the opportunity to get to know us better, after all you are interviewing us as well! Our goal is to ensure candidates not only have the skills and fit that we are looking for but also that FGF matches your career and culture ideals too.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Flexible hybrid work.

Cons

Constant layoffs. I was laid off 7 months after starting, while on a business trip in a Kroger parking lot, with no explanation given. Layoff process was pathetic, no communication and had to threaten a lawyer to receive my severance payout. American politics are often discussed by Canadian upper management. Foul, unprofessional language is frequently used. Very unprofessional, unstable work environment. I would recommend looking anywhere else for employment.
