Fake tech company, but a decent place to work
Fake tech company, but a decent place to work
- Good compensation (competitive salary + benefits)
- Positive and easygoing people
- Lots of social/fun activities
- Good work/life balance
- Pretends to be a top-tier tech company but is far from it. Also, it doesn't pay like one.
- Tech is mediocre at best. Code quality is low because they often just want to get it out the door ASAP.
- Agile is done all wrong. There are lots of rituals and formalities, but the spirit is not there.
- Collaboration between teams and departments is poor.
- The Canada tech team is often bottlenecked by US teams and policies.
- Senior management (director+) is nearly all white.
- Too bureaucratic.
- Bring more tech ownership to Canada and stop relying on the U.S.
- Break the glass ceiling and promote more visible minorities.
- If you really want to be a leading tech company, then start paying like one. Above-average compensation is not enough to bring together the best and brightest.

The process took a long time and was difficult. I had around five interviews, and they all asked the same questions. I know many people have had similar experiences.
Software Engineer
Straightforward interview process with lots of details given beforehand. Make sure to take advantage of it and prep for what they tell you to. Generally not too difficult and should be easy enough given some previous experience.
Software Engineer
The process was super clear and well-explained. The recruiter explained the steps. I was assigned an E2E project, and during the interview, two senior engineers asked relevant questions about the algorithm, testing, and design.
