Pros

Great engineers. Honest, helpful, reliable, hardworking people. It was a pleasure to work with them. Tech stack - company is using latest products and frameworks, which helps to learn new technologies and get new skills. CEO (Ed) knows his job and has impressive plans to grow company portfolio. Good RRSP and ESPP.

Cons

Disclaimer: there is no uniform company culture. Environment highly depends on project manager, some teams are better than others. Work-life balance: long extra hours without compensation, constant pressure. No sick days. Mandatory Christmas shutdown. Some managers do not treat people equally and favor reporters. Managers remember all bugs (even small ones which were detected by QA before release and not delpoyed in production) made by engineers, but forget all contribution to the project and long extra-hours. Many project managers have no techincal knowledge.

Too much changes not well implemented

Pros

Good company strategy but not well implemented in the regions.

Cons

Managers and companies need to understand that they are valuable because they have their reports doing the job. They might be more "human". Persons make the difference. That'a the real asset of any organization.

Pros

Good Team Work within the whole company. Good Place to work and learn more. Short way to communicate with peers and some of Management

Bad Work Life Balance at least. No honoring of extra done work. Management closely and not open to communicate things with the Team.
