A very boring place to work, would not recommend
Job security is good; the firm keeps hiring because cyber-security solutions are in high demand. They hire a lot of young people.
Salaries are below the industry average, especially when compared to other US firms with offices in Canada.
An extremely high number of Chinese immigrant workers speak poor English, leading to real diversity issues in some departments.
Only 15 days of PTO are allowed in your first year. There are no sick days; you have to take PTO if you are sick, as no remote work is allowed.
No food options are available on-site, not even snacks. You need a car. Only coffee and tea are available.
The working day is 8 hours, but no lunch break is included. So, you actually must stay 9 hours at the office every day.
Start spending some money on your facilities and make the office look more like a proper tech firm.
Sometimes it just feels like we are working for a financial services company, with one of the most boring offices I have ever walked into. The grey cubicles don't help.
Add a cafeteria.
