Overall, a great place to work
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
May 23, 2014
Pros: The managers and the company treat the employees very well. The pay is decent, in line with the market. The office closes for a week between Christmas and New Year's, so it's like getting an additional week of paid vacation. The work is mostly interesting.
Cons: The product and project managers sometimes have too much confidence in the judgment and competence of the team leads, and some very poor decisions get executed by those team leads. Sometimes deadlines are missed, or you have to work late to fix problems resulting from such bad team lead decisions.

Pros: Excellent co-workers and nice facilities.
