Very poor job prospects
Very poor job prospects
The Markham office hires a lot of interns, which is good for university students with little work experience. My team, in particular, was one of the better teams within the company, and they provided quite a bit of training.
Their market share in the graphics card business is slipping. The company has continuously downsized, selling building after building in their Markham location.
As an intern, it didn't take too long for me to realize that this company has no future. They don't retain that many interns to begin with.
Company culture is pretty much non-existent; the people are not very friendly there.
