Pros

Great staff, great co-workers and camaraderie. Offers plenty of certification training as well as paying for testing. Can move up within IT fairly easily provided you have the gumption to do so. If you're content staying in your role you can do so as well.

Cons

When oil and gas fell, they laid off 40% of the staff. This meant people were doing work for three. It became too stressful. It became about the numbers more so than the people. In addition to that, nepotism was rampant. If you weren't on the good side of a manager, forget about your life there. You were an outcast and would stay that way. Fortunately for me it wasn't the case, but I could see it happening to others.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping in and leaving this review. We are sad to see you go, but we are happy that you appreciated your colleagues, our team atmosphere and how we place an emphasis on training and certifications while you were here. We are disappointed to hear of your guess at what percentage of our workforce was laid off, though. 40% is not correct. Let's fix that for you! Would you please call our SVP of People Services at 403-515-6900? She is also interested in hearing more about your experience with nepotism and lack of work/life balance as that's not the culture that we foster here. We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for all you did for us in your time here!

Pros

Large Canadian presence and solid leadership from the top, but not so much in the Sales org

Cons

No marketing or demand generation makes it very hard on the sales team. Middle managers/VPs can be toxic depending on your location. No cohesion across departments.
