Pros: Salary is a bit more than market (10%).

Cons: long working hours. Almost of my team work 12 hours per day. Not much exposure to senior management.

Pros: Open concept office Work-from-home flexibility Management who listens to concerns when you bring them up Competitive salary 100% RRSP contribution matching Beer Fridays Nerf gun culture Great training program for new hires I have been with Solium / Shareworks for over 3 years now, and I have been able to grow my confidence and my career. I am given the opportunity to build and direct the product in a way that makes the most sense to me as well as the business. I am encouraged to work on improving my technical skills during work hours. It's not always go, go, go, which is nice. If I had concerns about anything, such as compensation or having a healthy work-life balance, I was able to bring it up in 1-on-1s with my manager and be listened to. Management is also very transparent and open about the path forward to help any motivated individual grow their career. Shareworks is a great place to work!

Cons: No more long-term incentive program (annual grants) to help employees feel rewarded when the company does well. Health benefits have an across-the-board $1000 limit now. No more sabbatical program. Dev teams always have large backlogs because of how many features are desired, and not enough teams to build them all.

Pros: - Work-life balance. - You'll love it if you like finance (depends on project though). - Good 401K match, matches dollar for dollar.

Cons: - Slow in adapting to the latest tech. - Slow personal growth.
