- Ancient technologies are used and there is push back towards any attempt at innovation
- Any change or innovation is driven by reaction once it is already too late and the development is rushed (Lots of overtime and pressure from higher management, barely any recognition)
- Higher management is tone deaf
- Very low space for growth unless you bring a job offer from outside
- Abuse and harassment is not taken seriously and not handled professionally EVEN after communicating it to superiors and HR MULTIPLE times
- "Old school" management, micromanagement is the rule and employees crying due to the abuse (myself included) caused by the management are a common thing (not acknowledged nor addressed)
- No work from home pre Covid and 9 hour days
- Lowest salaries for developers in the business (every single recruiter I had contact after leaving the company were shocked when I informed my previous salary)
- During Covid there were salary cuts that were not retroactively paid back once business was booming again
- Canada unemployment rate for Covid relief was $500 a week and my salary (and many of my colleagues) was lower than that - it would have been more respectful to lay us off at that point (as many people were during that time) - during the same time new directors and consultants were hired at obviously higher salaries
- Nepotism (which would be ok if the people were qualified)
