Pros
Good colleagues.. Nice work life balance, 40 hours a week.
Cons
Management is terrible, most senior ppl only had about 3 years of coding experience and became a senior. Management style is Asian hierarchical, they don’t care about employee’s growth, there was no form of training or knowledge transfer or mentorship. Like the other post said, there was no senior tech leadership in the office. It’s like a boat without captain. You do get travel opportunity to long beach, California which itself is a boring city. You basically go to Empower conference as a speaker/assistant (ppl with 1 year coding experience teaches advanced topics lol), when conference is over, you work like in Toronto, still no training or knowledge transfer. Hotel is “motel” and if you are chosen to stay at one of their apartments, it’s basically a hostel, 6 ppl sharing 3 rooms, single bed. Food allowance is ok but not generous. Engineering developing process is terrible, the most trivial bugs are caught by QA. Engineers just code and push without quality control.
