Pros

MindGeek allowed me to gain experience in a field I knew nothing about. It is good if you're just starting out. There are some good people working there.

Cons

- Management REALLY doesn't care about it's employees. - If you move up the ladder a little you are respected a lot more by upper managemt if you drive a nice car. This is no joke. I've seen upper management pressure people into buying nice cars. It's really not normal. - They act like it's 1995 and you have to effectively use a punch card to ensure you worked a min of 35 hours in the office. But what about all the time I spent working from home? Well that doesn't count. - They openly talk about past employees and try to make it sound like anyone who ever left the company now regrets it. Given their extremely low rating in sites like this one, I ask who are you going to believe? - Salary is quite low compared to most other companies. Also, they implemented a cap this year based on your role. I understand why they did this, but from an employee's perspective it's no fun. - Don't trust HR. They have management's back, not yours. - The office politics is unbearable. - Unless you're will to suck up like you've never sucked up before OR you are Lebanese, good luck ever getting promoted! It's been years since I heard of anyone ever being promoted in my division which had about 150 people. - Men who take paternity leave are treated as disloyal to the company and their team. They do this by making you feel guilty about it. -

Pros

Generally the everyday people are worth knowing and you will find a rich diversity of culture.

Cons

The smoke and mirrors are all too real. Breakfast was fine the first few months, you get over the bagels and the russian roulette melon selection. You are a peon, they will use you and as soon as you demonstrate any advice, also known as contradiction, they will let you go and hire someone cheaper and who doesn't have an opinion - I've seen it happen countless times. Want to keep your job, keep your head down, agree with the inexperienced and mindless managers and laugh at all the boys club jokes. Keep it up and you too can be a manager within the year given the turnover rate! Work life balance is a joke and non-existent unless you are friends with higher ups but I haven't done a 45 hour work week let alone 35. Social distancing has given us the opportunity to avoid the pointless parties that are put in place as a distraction to the dismal salaries, invest in a company that invests in you (RRSP cough cough**). If this is your last resort, hey take it, you'll get some experience from it, then take that experience and run, far away and forget the rest.
