Pros

• We work hard and we play hard. My colleagues at work are my friends in life • This is a great place to grow a career in tech - for the right kind of person • We use the latest and greatest technology to do our work - for a geek like me, this is awesome • Volunteering and helping people is baked into the culture of the company

Cons

• Depending on the department, you may wear (too) many hats at once. There are a lot of folks who are spread too thin, which means they don't always have the time to get great at a few things • If you're not a natural learner, you're going to struggle to be successful - especially in sales • This is not a good place for people who want to punch in and punch out- expect to be challenged, and to perform • Depending on your role, it may be tough to advance as quickly as you'd like - this is particularly true for non-sales, niche roles in the organization

Pros

Pros – The environment is very nice from the perspective that you get to have a gym, bring dogs, use a game room, there is a monthly beer cart, some fun activities. There are many university grads and fantastic friendships can be made.

Cons

The pay is very low. The company changes at a rapid pace and there are a lot of layoffs. People who are in sales are far more valued than those who assist them.

Pros

casual dress code good office location (Toronto)

Cons

company makes a strong point of paying well below industry standards extremely high turnover fraternity culture lack of training coworkers often unprofessional/uninterested/unhelpful high pressure sales environment company does not live up to its values continually increases responsibilities, demands, and targets significantly, arbitrarily, and aggressively with zero uplift or consideration in terms of salary. Many employees make less the longer they stay warning - marketing team was made aware of too many negative reviews on glassdoor so emails were sent to workers asking for them to enter shill reviews on this site.
