Process

It was very friendly and informal.

I went for the interview wearing formals, and I felt like an alien when I entered the office.

But guys, don't go informal if you want to come here or anywhere. :-)

Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

Pros: Friendly people, great amenities. They encourage "work hard and play hard." They will not underpay you. If you do a lot of work for them, they will acknowledge it. I really like how they allow pets at work. They have their own cafe, soccer field, and beach volleyball court.

Cons: Being a QA tester might be fun at first, but it feels quite brainless after a while. I think maybe that's just the position. I didn't like the setup of the QA department; it feels like I'm working in a sweatshop/factory.
