Pros

Pay is competitive, especially on the Canadian market.

Cons

Extremely toxic culture. I was threatened to ramp up in just one day and start to deliver right afterward. In the first week, I had to build a super complicated dashboard (hundreds of lines of code, with tables and concepts I had no idea of), ending up working till midnight every day to get it delivered. In the second week, the manager forced me to complete eight JIRA tickets, and yet blamed me for 'ramping up too slow'. Similar scenarios happened again and again, until I had to argue with him and eventually resigned. (If it wasn't for the $100k worth of stock, I would have resigned the first day.) Lots of micromanagement and bullying from top down. The management turned a blind eye to these unfair treatments and stole credits from hardworking employees.
