Coder - Coder Ipsos Employee Review

The Coder position is a variable hourly position with morning and evening shifts available Monday thru Saturday. The hours are project driven and we are transparent with all applicants in the hiring process that hours can, and will, vary based on project load. There are also times when work is extremely heavy and Coders wishing to work overtime hours are paid at time and a half according to provincial legislation. The hiring wage is in accordance with the provincial minimum wage and we do pay a premium for those who can code in another language. The Coding employees have the opportunity to earn annual merit increases. We do recognize that we employ individuals with higher levels of education, and while this is not a prerequisite for coding, it may be required for other opportunities open within the company. The Coding employees have the opportunity to participate in company programs such as a group benefits plan, milestone recognition, employee recognition programs and a summer hours program. Nevertheless, we do acknowledge that there are some benefits that are not included in the hourly program. Increased benefits will be provided as you become more senior in the company as part of an inclusive compensation package. The Coding department does have a career path and the Management team works diligently to promote from within – there have been 5 promotions to date this year in the Winnipeg office with Coders and Head Coders moving in to Head Coder and Team Leader roles respectively. That being said, there are times when it is necessary to look outside the department to fill more senior roles.
