      Pros

      Diverse team, good opportunity to develop skillset, benefits are decent

      Cons

      Kobo is going up in flames. Mass exodus across all departments. Employees are underpaid, unhappy, undervalued and working for an evil corporation. There’s gossip of inappropriate behaviour from management, favouritism, employee manipulation and lack of accountability from management. Feedback is brought forward however no changes are made. There’s always phoney excises made from higher management to fool employees. From uncompetitive pay to work life balance or lack of support - the list goes on.

      Pros

      Free ebook every week, good benefits, free lunch every day if you’re in the office.

      Cons

      Extremely siloed to the point where people in the same team don’t even communicate. A lot of people that are hired are not fit for the role they are hired for. A lot of favortism, same people getting recognition over and over again even for mediocre work. They try to sell this image of being a friendly brand/company to work for but there is a good amount of hostility, cliques and politics within the org that make it difficult to navigate. Pay is not competitive.
