Pros
  • Always work to do, and always something to learn
  • I learn from all of my peers, where everyone is both smart and pleasant to work alongside, and people genuinely seem to care
  • Projects are interesting, and you have tangible real-world impact
  • Compensation and benefits are best in class for Toronto
Cons

Work-life balance hours spill into the evenings and weekends - it is not uncommon to see people push PRs late into the evenings.

Advice to Management

I'm not sure what to say. This is perhaps a consequence of the modern age and just the norm nowadays.
