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.
