Pros

There are two things that stand out about this company that is above and beyond anywhere else I have worked and makes me love this place. The first is that everyone here, even at the top of chain of command, is committed to making the best products we can. It is a culture here. On every project I have been on the team has this goal so ego's and preferences do not get in the way of the team coming to the best solution for the client. The second is how this company is more than just a job, it is a community. There are planned events such as food and drinks after work on Friday, fun trips such as the whole company seeing a movie and team lunches where you get to know your team better. On top of these planned events there is always something impromptu going on. Board games at the office, a happy hour on the walking mall or everyone bringing their dog to the dog park. My two main reasons help the company stand out above and beyond any other job so there are other reasons why this company is just great in general: Fosters an amazing learning environment with specific time in the week just for learning Good compensation and benefits Great work/life balance

Cons

Multiple offices is not ideal, we are planning to get everyone in one space soon and I can't wait!

Pros

Lots of really nice, and smart people who are very collaborative and excited to share their knowledge. This is not a prestigious place to work, so I was a bit surprised by just how smart and competent people are at WillowTree or TELUS Digital, whatever our name is. The offices are great and the office culture is ridiculously good. Huge shoutout to the employees (it's def not upper management) who go out of their way to make the office culture great. Depending on what project you're on, it can be a pretty chill place to work. If you're early in your career and need experience, the variety of projects makes this a genuinely good opportunity.

Cons

The biggest con is the compensation. It's so terrible, and far below the industry standard that I don't really see how anyone could stay here long term. They don't give raises, no one is getting promotions. There's also quite a lot of restructuring going on, and very poor communication about it. Which is par for the course in the tech industry at this point, but worth noting. It feels relatively stable for now, but I really have trouble seeing how their tech services division is going to survive as AI decreases the cost to build software. Plus, tech services as part of TELUS Digital doesn't really make any sense long term. It's a contact center business with a bunch of people that randomly make expensive mobile apps? It seems to be making enough money for now to keep going, but I feel like that could change any moment.
