Good Culture, Lacks Growth
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
August 15, 2023
Pros: Friendly people.
Decent management, which in my case has allowed me to work independently on projects I find most interesting.
Supportive coworkers.
Great work-life balance.
Good company culture that doesn't implicitly force you to work more than 8 hours a day.
Cons: Nothing specific other than the fact there are clearly better places to go to for compensation. Perhaps I would also say that there is no clear path for growing beyond just being another software engineer.
