Can be great on the right project
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
August 7, 2015
Pros: Great benefits and perks. Depending on the people and project, it's one of the best places to work. New management is quite forward with the employees, and the company is doing extremely well. Really casual environment, beer Fridays, lunches, BBQs. Interesting work. Easy to move around and try new things.
Cons: On the wrong project, it can be awful. A lot of people work here; you might not mesh with all of them. Some of the projects feel like a waste of time. There's a lot of middle management, and everyone wants their fingers in the pot. Some really minor issues have a ton of red tape and need lots of approval.
