Pros

- Young, talented and excellent colleagues - Open to fresh grads - Great collaborative spirit amongst teammates - Free lunch Not much else. If you're in dire need of a job and can stomach being treated like an idiot in a toxic environment, this place is the one for you.

Cons

Where to begin.. Do not be fooled by the positive reviews on this site. The scathing ones are the true reflections of how this company is run. - This is a privately owned, family run business. If you want a chance to move up the ladder, make sure your corporate politics game is up to scratch. - There is no "tech firm" feel about this company at all even though it technically is in the industry. They use management and corporate strategies that are extremely outdated (eg, employees have to clock in and clock out every day). Don't think this is a Google or a Facebook type company. It is far from it and it will never reach that level. - There is no autonomy and you will constantly be micro-managed and patronised as if you are a child (even though they will claim they are not until their dying days) - The company is deluded in thinking they are the "thought leaders" of the industry - the Laserfiche technology is in fact light years behind competitors. - Some managers will literally (and I am using this word correctly) berate and shout at their employees just because they can. Worst - some have even brought up previous experiences when they have done exactly that and bragged about it. If there is one thing this company can do well, it is their ability to make their employees feel worthless. - I have seen at least 20 people leave during my time at the company (some even without a job lined up). When asked about why they left, ALL of them brought up one reason - management. - HR? What HR? - Inter-department collaboration is generally fine but anything that requires higher escalation, you'll be stuck in the middle of an ego fight between two managers. In turn, this leads to delays and ALOT of frivolous back and forth. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg.

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.
