Leadership is weak
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
December 29, 2021
Pros: skills and a dedicated workforce.
Cons: Company vision is not clear. It is not investing in its workforce. The company has lost its way since the 2010s.
3.0
Looking for a job at a company that treats people like people and not just headcounts
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
December 23, 2008
Pros: Flexibility and work from home.
Management doesn't care when you come in or go out, so you are pretty much free to do whatever you want. This is very useful if you have some obligations in the middle of the day, like picking up a kid from daycare.
Cons: Extra long hours, no overtime pay. Crappy promotions, crappy bonuses, and crappy raises. Management doesn't seem to know what's going on when important decisions come from above, nor do they seem to know or care about who's doing what in their teams, save a few people.
5.0

Cons: A little late to the party: AI, Cloud, Etc.
